What Scientists Found Beneath Texas' Ground Changes Everything

Something beneath Texas is collapsing.

Across parts of the Permian Basin, sinkholes, subsidence and underground voids are revealing just how unstable the ground can become after decades of drilling, groundwater extraction and salt dissolution.

In this DiscoverTube investigation, we look at the growing Wink Sinkholes, the geology behind Texas ground collapse, and why scientists are using satellite data to monitor areas where the surface is still shifting.

Could these collapses remain isolated — or are they signs of a much larger problem developing beneath one of America’s most important energy regions?
