When humans pump groundwater, it has a substantial impact on the tilt of Earth’s rotation. Additionally, a study documents just how much of an influence groundwater pumping has on climate change.

The Earth has tilted 31.5 inches and its all a result of human activity. The way the planet rotates has been fundamentally changed by the process of pumping groundwater, and it is having a far ...

Groundwater is one of our most valuable resources—even though you probably never see it or even realize it is there. There is water somewhere beneath your feet no matter where on Earth you live.

Not all Californian coastal areas are moving lower. The Santa Barbara groundwater basin, which has been continuously ...

Research published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that Earth’s tilt has shifted by 31.5 inches in less than two decades (1993–2010) due to groundwater pumping. This movement is linked ...

Earth’s rotational pole is shifting due to groundwater pumping. Lead researcher Ki-Weon Seo highlights this as the largest climate-related factor affecting pole drift, likened to adding weight ...
