Notes

Abstract:

Overview: Look at areas that also experience land subsidence (LS), measured with space geodesy,Flood susceptibility reflects combined SLR + LS, Areas with high LS are first to experience effects of rising sea level (New Orleans example), LS has two main causes, Natural compaction and subsidence in river deltas (e.g., New Orleans), Post glacial rebound effects (e.g., US east coast) ( English )
