The planet that appears so steady beneath our feet is, in reality, subtly reorienting itself in space. As ice melts, oceans ...

In an eye-opening study, researchers have discovered that human activities, particularly groundwater pumping, are causing a significant shift in Earth's physical orientation. The findings, now making ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Recent scientific findings have revealed a startling shift in our planet’s equilibrium. The Earth’s axis has tilted by an unprecedented 31.5 inches, a deviation that defies natural expectations and ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. New research shows that persistently pumping groundwater has shifted Earth's axis. The reason is that we're moving all that water ...

Glacial melting due to global warming is likely the cause of a shift in the movement of the poles that occurred in the 1990s. The locations of the North and South poles aren’t static, unchanging spots ...

(CNN) — Humans’ unquenchable thirst for groundwater has sucked so much liquid from subsurface reserves that it’s affecting Earth’s tilt, according to a new study. Groundwater provides drinking water ...

Runoff from irrigation has moved so much water from land to sea that Earth’s rotation might have measurably shifted. Computer simulations suggest that from 1993 through 2010, irrigation alone nudged ...

Climate change is altering the Earth to its literal core, new research suggests. As polar and glacial ice melts because of global warming, water that was once concentrated at the top and the bottom of ...
