    Research just published in Nature Communications by HAS Assistant Professor Laura Condon shows that even under modest climate warming scenarios, loss of groundwater may accelerate drying trends in the eastern United States. This new first-of-its-kind study simulates how water moves in the subsurface, particularly lateral movement, and connects with the land surface. Condon used a large-scale computer simulation to demonstrate how groundwater will respond to persistent warming. Results show the eastern U.S. becoming much more sensitive to a lowering of the water table with the depletion of grou... Read More
