2.There are vast non-consolidated alluvia deposits freshly formed in estuary area of Yangtze River and nearby coastal area.The deposits contribute to land subsidence.
8.The researchers also combined their subsidence measurements with projections of sea level rise to figure out which cities might end up below sea level.
10.This has decreased ten fold and a new analysis based on Japanese satellite observations of ground subsidence suggest a further ten fold decrease can by expected by 2017.
11." Land subsidence is an overlooked problem that almost exists everywhere, " said Manoochehr Shirzaei, a geophysicist at Virginia Tech who has studied subsidence in American coastal cities using similar methods.
12.One caveat with these findings is that they assumed a constant rate of subsidence over the next 100 years, but these rates can change along with human activity.
13.I am convinced that nearly all our ancient formations, which are throughout the greater part of their thickness rich in fossils, have thus been formed during subsidence.
14." I believe the majority of the adaptation strategies that we have, and resiliency plans to combat climate change, are inaccurate, just because they did not include land subsidence, " he said.
