New research reveals that Miami's skyscrapers are sinking due to construction-induced subsidence, putting coastal ...

Land subsidence is one of the most important hazards associated with underground ... Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry has been used to detect and monitor fast mining-induced ...

Ground subsidence in Gifu Prefecture was likely caused by tunnel construction work for the magnetic-levitation (maglev) Chuo Shinkansen Line, Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai) said. In the ...

Tracking and predicting sea level rise involves more than measuring the height of our oceans: Land along coastlines also ...

The elevation changes may seem small — amounting to fractions of inches per year — but they can increase or decrease local ...

A unified method of predicting soil deformations induced by general and special-section tunneling in clays is proposed. Assuming that the tunneling-induced ground loss can be divided into infinite ...

On the barrier islands of Miami, 35 skyscrapers – including Trump Tower III - have sunk as much as three inches since 2016, and researchers from the University of Houston have played a pivotal role in ...

Wave-induced seabed response and liquefaction are ... leading to pipeline floatation and subsidence[4]. The study found that the interaction between the pipeline and surrounding soil plays a ...

“The development of a systematic [thaw subsidence] monitoring is urgently needed to deliver consistent and continuous exchange of data across different permafrost regions.” Climate change is causing ...

The process is called thaw subsidence and causes the ground at the top to sink and crack. “Thaw subsidence is a common process in permafrost environments,” the paper said. “However ...
