Land subsidence is a global issue and has different causes. Some are natural, like earthquakes , and some are caused by humans. In the United States, land subsidence from over pumping has affected 45 states and accounts for changes in over 17,000 square miles of land which is an area almost 10 times the size of Glacier National Park in Montana ...
These sensors work by sending in small electromagnetic waves into the subsurface level, and receiving information as these waves are returned. [12] Key components of studying land subsidence in the Central Valley include large and small scale monitoring, studying topography in relation to groundwater, and a multi-agency approach.
title: This describes the monitoring point, and normally follows the EA designation; id: This is the monitoring point number, which is used to link to the appropriate ref page. Typically, something like 3072. Optional parameters. access-date: The date on which the data was viewed by the editor
Subsidence frequently causes major problems in karst terrains, where dissolution of limestone by fluid flow in the subsurface creates voids (i.e., caves).If the roof of a void becomes too weak, it can collapse and the overlying rock and earth will fall into the space, causing subsidence at the surface.
South Pacific Sea Level and Climate Monitoring Project (SPSLCMP) is a project initiated by government of Australia. The primary goal of the project is to provide accurate, long term records of the variance of the sea level in the Pacific and South Pacific oceans.
Nearly half of China’s urban areas comprising 29% of the country’s population are sinking faster than 3 millimeters per year, according to a new study.
The advantage of remote surveillance is that many data feeds can come into a single base station for storing and analysis. It also enable trigger levels or alert levels to be set for individual monitoring sites and/or parameters so that immediate action can be initiated if a trigger level is exceeded.
Tectonic subsidence is the sinking of the Earth's crust on a large scale, relative to crustal-scale features or the geoid. [1] The movement of crustal plates and accommodation spaces produced by faulting [2] brought about subsidence on a large scale in a variety of environments, including passive margins, aulacogens, fore-arc basins, foreland basins, intercontinental basins and pull-apart basins.
