Major cities worldwide are sinking, satellite data reveal
Satellite data reveal that major cities worldwide are experiencing land subsidence, a gradual sinking of the ground that can damage infrastructure and increase flood risks. Policymakers face challenges in identifying intensifying risks due to limited information on subsidence dynamics and previous assessments using different methods or time periods. This global issue highlights the need for more comprehensive monitoring and intervention strategies.
