Humans pump so much groundwater that Earth’s axis has shifted, study finds By Mindy Weisberger, ... “Earth’s rotational pole actually changes a lot,” said lead study author Ki-Weon Seo, ...

The axis tilts, and thus the pole shift, depending on how weight is distributed across Earth's surface. Melting glaciers have changed that distribution enough to knock Earth off its axis, research ...

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that human activity, particularly the over-pumping of groundwater, has shifted Earth's axis by 31.5 inches (about 80 centimeters ...

And we've been extracting so much groundwater that it caused the Earth's rotational pole to drift 78.48 cm toward 64.16 degrees east at a rate of about 4.36 cm per year from 1993 to 2010 ...

Humans have been identified as the culprits behind a startling shift in Earth's axis by almost 31.5 inches (nearly 80cm), a recent study reveals. Climate change researchers uncovered this alarming ...

The Earth’s axis is shifting east at an estimated rate of 1.7 inches every year due to a decade’s worth of consistent groundwater extraction and relocation, according to a study published in ...

That shift is even observable on Earth’s surface, as it contributes to global sea level rise, researchers reported in the study published June 15 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

New research shows that persistent groundwater extraction over more than a decade has shifted the axis on which our ... largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole.” Earth’s drifting axis.

That shift is even observable on Earth’s surface, as it contributes to global sea level rise, researchers reported in the study published June 15 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
