ASU Research: Parts Of Metro Phoenix Are Sinking

New research from ASU shows parts of the Valley are sinking by up to two centimeters year — that’s a little less than an inch — because of the pumping of groundwater.

Megan Miller is a graduate student at ASU in the Remote Sensing and Tectonic Geodesy Laboratory, and the research’s co-author.

Mark Brodie is a co-host of The Show, KJZZ’s locally produced news magazine. Since starting at KJZZ in 2002, Brodie has been a host, reporter and producer, including several years covering the Arizona Legislature, based at the Capitol.
