How fast the world's deltas are sinking |
|
|
|
The world’s deltas are home to hundreds of millions of people – but there’s a problem: New findings from UC Irvine researchers shows that these deltas are sinking. “Our study provides the first delta-wide, high-resolution subsidence observations across 40 major river delta systems, revealing not just where land is sinking, but quantifying how much,” said Leonard Ohenhen, assistant professor of Earth system science and lead author of the study. “We also quantified the relative contributions of specific human drivers: groundwater extraction, sediment starvation and urbanization across these deltas, which allows us to identify the dominant driver of the sinking.” The work was supported by NASA and the Department of Defense. #SpeakUp4Science |
