Land subsidence: A global challenge

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
This study presents a comprehensive review of the Land subsidence (LS) cases, as a worldwide environmental, geological, and global geohazard concern. Here, 290 case studies around the world mostly conducted in large metropolitan cities (e.g. Bangkok, Beijing, California, Houston, Mexico City, Shanghai, Jakarta, and Tokyo) in 41 countries were collected.

Land subsidence in China

Environmental Geology, 2005
Land subsidence in China occurs in different regions. It is primarily caused by excessive groundwater withdrawal. Other reasons for the subsidence include the oil, warm groundwater withdrawal and the neotectonic movement. The common characteristics of land subsidence in China are slow, accumulative, irreversible, and other unique properties.

Satellite radar measurements of land subsidence

IGARSS '96. 1996 International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 2002
The potential of satellite borne interferometric measurements for the mapping of slow land subsidence has been investigated. Two test sites, covered by the ERS-1 satellite, were selected in the Netherlands: the provinces of Groningen and Zeeland. In situ measurements on the weather and the actual subsidence were gathered.

Anthropogenic Land Subsidence

2005
Fluid removal from subsurface reservoirs, in the form of gas, oil, groundwater, geothermal water, and brine, produces a compaction of the depleted formations which migrates totally or partially to the ground surface thus inducing anthropogenic land subsidence.

Land Subsidence Problems

Journal of the Surveying and Mapping Division, 1963
A review of the land subsidence problem in the Texas Gulf Coast area is presented, together with a discussion of the causes of the subsidence and how the amount may be estimated by soil mechanics m...

Land Subsidence — B. A Regional Mathematical Model for Land Subsidence due to Pumping

1984
A regional mathematical model for land subsidence and horizontal displacement resulting from pumping from an aquifer is developed on the basis of the works of Biot and Verruijt on consolidation. The regional mathematical model is obtained by integrating the equations that describe soil deformation in a three-dimensional space over the aquifer’s ...

Land Subsidence in Coastal Lowlands

1996
Causes and ranges of coastal lowland subsidence are varied, but in general natural subsidence amounts to centimeters to a few meters per century, while human-induced subsidence can amount to meters in a few decades. As a result, coastal subsidence must be taken into account when predicting relative sea-level rise over the next century.
