A global crisis is unfolding as countries, including the U.S., excessively pump groundwater, threatening future water security. Research by ETH Zurich and UCSB reveals a sharp decline in groundwater levels exacerbated by agriculture, climate change, and population growth. Despite some successful recovery efforts, urgent global action is needed to address this unsustainable usage and prevent long-term environmental impacts.

When the Intuitive Machines Nova-C lunar lander lifts off on February 14, it will be carrying a novel new fuel gauge developed by NASA that can measure cryogenic propellants in the thruster tanks by means of radio waves.Measuring the amount of liquid in a tank on Earth is about as easy a problem to solve that there is. You can insert a dipstick or you can set up a simple mechanism with a float and a gauge marked E to F. In space, things are more than a bit complicated. With no gravity to pull the fluid to the bottom of…

These challenges will continue to grow because global projections point to a mean sea level rise of at least one foot above year-2000 levels by the end of this century. However, many…
