Abstract:
Radar observations from satellites can track ground deformation. Over many years, radar can pick up even relatively small changes on the order of millimeters per year. Ao et al . used satellite observations to determine the extent of land subsidence across 82 major cities in China (see the Perspective by Nicholls and Shirzaei). They found that about 40% of the land is undergoing moderate to severe subsidence, which adds to the risk of flooding for a large population. —Brent Grocholski
