Subsidence: Causes, Impacts, Mapping and Ground/Satellite Monitoring explores the intricate dynamics of subsidence, encompassing its geological origins, diverse impacts, and cutting-edge monitoring techniques. From the influence of human activities to the exacerbating effects of long-term drought and sea level rise, this book delves into the myriad factors contributing to surface deformation. By integrating ground-based and satellite monitoring techniques including GPS, radar, and UAV sensors, alongside insightful case studies, it provides a holistic understanding of both localized and widespread subsidence phenomena, equipping readers with the knowledge needed for effective prediction, mitigation, and management strategies. Designed for researchers and practitioners across diverse fields, Subsidence: Causes, Impacts, Mapping and Ground/Satellite Monitoring serves as an indispensable resource. By addressing the complexities of subsidence comprehensively, it caters to researchers working on the dynamics of surface deformation and those who seek to unravel the causes and consequences of surface deformation, assess natural hazard risks, and develop early warning systems.

Provides a full review of subsidence including causes of subsidence, the geological environment, and effects of human activities like groundwater withdrawal and mining activities on subsidence
Focuses on a broad audience and fundamental understanding of the concepts and processes covered, addressing knowledge requirements for readers in a variety of fields
Covers emerging topics of interest including subsidence and ground structures, as well as subsidence in permafrost environments
Includes GPS techniques and monitoring of subsidence using GPS
Details satellite remote sensing (InSAR) techniques for monitoring subsidence and sinkholes
