First-ever global map of surface permeability informs water supply, climate modelling

Science Centric: University of British Columbia researchers have produced the first map of the world outlining the ease of fluid flow through the planet's porous surface rocks and sediments. The maps and data, published Friday in Geophysical Research Letters, could help improve water resource management and climate modelling, and eventually lead to new insights into a range of geological processes. 'This is the first global-scale picture of near-surface permeability, and is based on rock type data at greater......
