Environment Health: A tree's annual growth cycle creates a record of good seasons--and poor ones.

In the U.S. Southwest researchers rely on tree rings to track changes in the seasonal monsoon rains that deliver about half of New Mexico and Arizona's precipitation. In the June issue of Scientific American Connie Woodhouse, associate professor in the School of Geography and Development at the University...

And in just the first decade of the 21st century, we've extracted underground water sufficient to raise global sea level by more than 2 percent. We suck up 25 cubic kilometers of buried water per year. That's the message from the U.S. Geological Survey's evaluation of how the U.S. is managing its aquifers. Or mismanaging.

New Fracking Rules Leave Drought-Ridden States High and Dry
