Irvine, Calif., June 16, 2015 – Two new studies led by UC Irvine using data from NASA Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites show that human consumption is rapidly draining some of its largest groundwater basins, yet there is little to no accurate data about how much water remains in them. The result is that significant […]
UC Irvine Professor Jay Famiglietti, director of the UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling, has been awarded the 2014 David Keith Todd Distinguished Lectureship by the Groundwater Resources Association. “This is a great surprise and a wonderful honor,” said Famiglietti. “I will work hard to meet the high standards for communicating California water issues set by previous […]
New space observations reveal that since October 2003, the aquifers for California’s primary agricultural region – the Central Valley -…
Using satellite data, UC Irvine and NASA hydrologists have found that groundwater beneath northern India has been receding by as much as 1 foot per year over the past decade – and they believe human consumption is almost entirely to blame.

Brett Sanders will collaborate on three-year project flood modeling in Miami-Dade County
UCI experts work to inform public policy and educate about California’s water future
Brett Sanders, UCI professor of civil and environmental engineering, has been focusing his research efforts on understanding flood risk to Southern California’s communities. Over the years he has studied the impact of climate change-caused sea level rise along California’s coast. Lately he has been examining flood risk to regions further inland, in many cases affecting […]
Overuse has led to the creation of superbugs, rendering current drugs ineffective
Policies, and especially attitudes toward water, will have to shift as climate change makes drought more severe, says David Feldman
