Emission of the CO2 from the Indonesian forest is mainly composed of the deforestation, forest degradation, and the peat land subsidence. Peat land subsidence of Indonesian islands represented by the Central Kalimantan is induced by the global warming and the resultant chemical processes at the peat land emit the CO2 to the air. The measurement of a relationship between the subsidence speed and...

Lagos has a history of long-term groundwater abstraction that is often compounded by the rising indiscriminate siting private borehole and water well. This resulted in various forms environmental degradation, including land subsidence. Prediction temporal evolution subsidence central to successful management. In this study, triple exponential smoothing algorithm was applied predict future trend...

salmas plain is located at the west of uremia lake and at the 75 km of north of uremia city. the main river of the plain, called zulachai, is drained into uremia lake. salmas aquifer is one of the coastal aquifers of uremia lake and has hydraulic connection with the lake. the recent draught occurrences and increased water consumption in agriculture and drinking sections water have not only caus...

The underground water extraction induced subsidence has the characteristics of slow rate, less predictable location and coverage. Over a long time period, the cumulated subsidence can be up to a few metres. This paper demonstrates the feasibility and capability of using conventional two-pass differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) for monitoring the underground water extr...

The Ontong Java, Manihiki, and Shatsky oceanic plateaus are among the Earth’s largest igneous provinces and are commonly believed to have erupted rapidly during the surfacing of giant heads of initiating mantle plumes. We investigate this hypothesis by using sediment descriptions of Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) and Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) drill cores to constrain plateau subsidence his...

Since the early 1990s, sinkholes and wide, shallow subsidence features (WSSFs) have become major problems along the Dead Sea shores in Israel and Jordan. Sinkholes are readily observed in the field, but their locations and timing are unpredictable. WSSFs are often difficult to observe in the field. However, once identified, they delineate zones of instability and increasing hazard. In this stud...

A variety of implant-related short and long-term complications after lumbar fusion surgery are recognized. Mid to long-term complications due to cage migration and/or cage subsidence are less frequently reported. Here, we report a patient with a complete cage migration into the superior adjacent vertebral body almost 20 years after the initial posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedure. In thi...

In this paper, we present the results achieved in the long-term subsidence project in Norway, ESA AO-1104, which have made use of ERS SAR data. By applying the differential SAR interferometry technique referred to as Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) approach to a test area covering the city of Oslo, Norway, we show significant subsidence in several areas of more than 5 mm/year in the time period 19...
