Millions in the U.S. may rely on groundwater that is contaminated with #PFAS for their #drinkingwater supplies. Estimates are for groundwater prior to treatment.

*** NEW PAPER ALERT ***
Published in @Nature @SciReports and led by Dr. Jenny Thomas of @USGS, we show that #SeaLevelRise, #storms, and #LandSubsidence cause severe #flooding and #erosion by 2100. With 0.5 m of SLR, approximately 47% of #CapeLookout is projected to experience daily flooding. #Shoreline #retreat 178 meters & water-table rises with 1 m of SLR. Congrats Jenny!

I am hiring a 2 yr post-doc on coastal channel morphodynamics. Coastal channels can have lots of loops and islands, and we don't really know why. Come theorize and analyze field and experimental data with the team here at Arkansas.

How and why groundwater is managed the way it is today in Texas comes from over a century of precedents in key lawsuits or court rulings.

In txH2O, we take a look at five of the most influential groundwater court cases in Texas history: https://t.co/5bkYw7bBVp

A call to manage and/or regulate aquifer depletion in the USA

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

Coast to coast, America’s food producing regions rely heavily and sometimes exclusively on groundwater for irrigation, writes Jay Famiglietti. “And it’s disappearing — fast.”
