Maars to calderas. End-members on a spectrum of explosive volcanic depressions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We discuss maar-diatremes and calderas as end-members on a spectrum of negative volcanic landforms (depressions) produced by explosive eruptions (note—we focus on calderas formed during explosive eruptions, recognizing that some caldera types are not ...

Water level changes, subsidence, and sea level rise in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020
Significance This work provides a robust estimate of water-level (WL) changes in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta, driven by continental freshwater dynamics, vertical land motion, and sea-level rise.

Uplift and subsidence associated with the great Aceh-Andaman earthquake of 2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Rupture of the Sunda megathrust on 26 December 2004 produced broad regions of uplift and subsidence. We define the pivot line separating these regions as a first step in defining the lateral extent and the downdip limit of rupture during that great M_w ≈

Estimating annual soil carbon loss in agricultural peatland soils using a nitrogen budget approach. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Around the world, peatland degradation and soil subsidence is occurring where these soils have been converted to agriculture. Since initial drainage in the mid-1800s, continuous farming of such soils in the California Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (the ...
