Coal resource is the main primary energy in our country, while Shanxi Province is the most important province in resource. Therefore Shanxi is an energy base for our country and has a great significance in energy strategy. However because of the heavy development of the coal resource, the ecological environment is worsening and the farmland is reducing continuously in Shanxi Province. How to re...

Many urban areas in China are affected by land subsidence. The Permanent Scatterers (PS) technique [1], [2] is a powerful tool for monitoring terrain motions by means of space-born radar data on a large number of coherent targets. Core idea of the PS technique is the exploitation of a high density of measure points (usually but not necessarily corresponding to man-made objects) in order to esti...

We use an early twentieth century (1908–1958) atmospheric reanalysis, based on assimilation of surface and sea level pressure observations, to contrast atmospheric circulation during two periods of persistent drought in North America: 1932–1939 (the ‘Dust Bowl’) and 1948– 1957. Primary forcing for both droughts is believed to come from anomalous sea surface temperatures (SSTs): a warm Atlantic ...

Land subsidence has long occurred around the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. It is important to know and deal with events which also cause various negative impacts. Aim: When large amounts groundwater are withdrawn from certain types rocks, such as fine-grained sediments, land occurs. The rock compacts because water helps keep ground in place. removed, rocks collapse on themselves.The immedi...

South Sumatera is one of the provinces with a large number lowlands in Indonesia consisting tidal land and lowland swamps, which located Tanjung Api-Api. The conversion into built-up areas will cause physical, socio-economic, environmental, public health impacts. One impacts arising from development settlements infrastructure subsidence flooding. purpose this research to create model for mitiga...
