Research from the Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network finds that freshwater environments like lakes and reservoirs have higher concentrations of plastic than oceanic garbage patches,…
New research presented at the Goldschmidt geochemistry conference suggests a significantly higher likelihood of finding Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water, essential for life, than previously…
A new study measured manganese levels in the residential tap water of a Holliston, Massachusetts community and found that the manganese concentrations occasionally exceeded the…
A new material developed by MIT engineers exhibits “record-breaking” vapor absorption. MIT engineers have synthesized a superabsorbent material that can soak up a record amount…
Researchers confirm theory of quantum friction. Water and carbon make a quantum couple: the flow of water on a carbon surface is governed by an…
A recent study argues that materials like wood, bacteria, and fungi belong to a newly identified class of matter, “hydration solids.” For many years, the…
The shifting of mass and consequent sea level rise due to groundwater withdrawal has caused the Earth’s rotational pole to wander nearly a meter in…
Early data shows the greatest net gain of water over the winter in nearly 22 years, but the state’s groundwater levels still suffer from the…
The decline is being driven by a combination of factors, including climate change, excessive human consumption, and sedimentation. A revolutionary evaluation recently published in the…
A study from the University of Colorado Boulder reveals that climate change is causing earlier snowmelt and increased rainfall in the mountain ranges of Western…
The engineers at the University of British Columbia have created a revolutionary water treatment system that efficiently and safely eliminates “forever chemicals” from drinking water…
Locating leaks in water distribution networks is made easier with hydrant-mounted hydrophones and advanced algorithms. UCLA researchers developed an acoustic solution using hydrophones on fire…
Ice is a complex substance with at least 20 known forms and possibly thousands more. Found in various environments, from icy moons to Earth’s crust,…
The work is based on new modeling and explores how oceans could exist in unlikely places in our solar system. New computer modeling and re-analysis…
The Zhurong rover, part of China’s Tianwen-1 Mars mission, has found evidence of liquid water at low Martian latitudes, indicating potentially habitable environments. This discovery,…
Merging data from multiple satellites, OPERA can help government agencies, disaster responders, and the public access data about natural and human impacts to the land….
