Laura Condon turns to physics to predict water futures

Original: Sandstorm: When the past can't predict the water, Laura Condon turns to physics

University of Arizona hydrologist Laura Condon is featured in the university's Sandstorm series for her work on groundwater. As climate change makes historical records unreliable for forecasting water availability, she uses physics-based computer models to simulate how groundwater systems will respond to drought, warming and changing demand across the United States.

Why now: Water scarcity and unreliable forecasts driven by climate change are making her physics-based approach to groundwater prediction newly relevant.
