Human Impact Causes 31.5-Inch Shift in Earth’s Axis: A Wake-Up Call for Groundwater Sustainability

Posted in News on Nov 25, 2024

Recent research reveals that the Earth's axis has shifted by 31.5 inches due to human activities, specifically the massive extraction of groundwater. Since 1993, this shift has been attributed to the redistribution of water from underground aquifers to the oceans. This change has not only altered the Earth's rotational axis but also contributes to rising sea levels and may even affect timekeeping systems. The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, underscores the need for sustainable water management practices to mitigate the long-term climatic and environmental impacts.
