Geoforum, 2023 Jakarta is sinking dramatically because of land subsidence, which in turn increases its vulnerability to tidal flooding. The explanation of land subsidence's causes and the design of solutions is led by geoscientists and engineers, who tend to treat it as largely a technical problem. This paper takes issue with this.

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1976 Parts of the United States are sinking according to recent reports by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). A USGS report (‘Land Subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, California, as of 1972,’ U.S. Geol. Surv. Prof. Pap. 437‐H) prepared in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources states that at least 4300 mi2 of the economically ...

Simulation of rock salt dissolution and its impact on land subsidence [PDF]
, 2014 Extensive land subsidence can occur due to subsurface dissolution of evaporites such as halite and gypsum. This paper explores techniques to simulate the salt dissolution forming an intrastratal karst, which is embedded in a sequence of carbonates, marls,

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Hydrologic control on natural land subsidence in the shallow coastal aquifer of the Ravenna coast, Italy [PDF]
, 2020 Multiple processes contributing to natural land subsidence in a shallow coastal aquifer near Ravenna (Italy) were identified by analysing the relationships among different data set time series (water table level, rainfall, land reclamation drainage, sea ...
