Atmospheric stability can be a tricky subject, but it is very important when considering its interactions with storms and how temperature behaves in the vertical atmosphere. This video should help ...

The Virginia Tech study used satellite-based radar measurements to create high-resolution maps of subsidence, or sinking land, for 28 of the most populous American cities. The cities are home to ...

Murray, K., Barbee, M., Thompson, P. et al. Coastal land subsidence “In rapidly subsiding areas, sea level rise impacts will be felt much sooner than previously estimated,” said Kyle Murray ...

Subsidence, often called an "invisible threat," can damage infrastructure and increase flood risks. While some cities show slight uplift, it's negligible and doesn't negate the overall sinking trend.

The gradual sinking of the Earth's surface, also known as subsidence, is a growing hazard with costly environmental, social and economic impacts on urban centers, researchers said. "Several cities ...

“Land subsidence is often invisible—until it isn’t,” says Manoochehr Shirzaei, a geophysicist at Virginia Tech and coauthor of the study, published today in the journal Nature Cities.

Plus, in 25 of the 28 cities studied, at least 65% is sinking. The reason behind the sinking ground is called subsidence, an often invisible threat that exists most often when water, oil ...
