Subsidence and palaeo sea-level change
Assessment of amounts and rates of long-term subsidence and sediment compaction in coastal sedimentary environments can be obtained measuring the displacement of geological paleo sea-level indicato…
Stratigraphy and sedimentology
The characteristics of subsurface sediments, their geometry, volume, age and depositional environment may influence their mechanical behavior and the processes that generate subsidence. This workin…
Numerical Modelling
Model predictions can be more or less reliable, making it essential to quantify their associated uncertainty. For example, when studying subsidence in the Po River delta using a numerical model, th…
Measuring and monitoring
Measurements of ground elevation, elevation changes and aquifer system compaction are pivotal to monitoring and characterising land subsidence processes. Several instruments and data analysis techn…
Idrogeologia e Ingegneria Geotecnica
Groundwater extraction can induce land subsidence through the compaction of susceptible aquifer systems, typically unconsolidated or poorly consolidated alluvial aquifers composed of alternating se…
