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, the book 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, this book serves as an indispensable resource by comprehensively addressing the complexities of subsidence and catering to researchers working on the dynamics of surface deformation. It is an essential resource for 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, the geological environment, and the effects of human activities like groundwater withdrawal and mining activitiesFocuses on a broad audience and fundamental understanding of the concepts and processes covered, addressing knowledge requirements for readers in a variety of fieldsCovers emerging topics of interest, including subsidence and ground structures as well as subsidence in permafrost environmentsIncludes GPS techniques and monitoring of subsidence using GPSDetails satellite remote sensing (InSAR) techniques for monitoring subsidence and sinkholes
