Parts of many coastal cities are sinking faster than the sea is rising

A team of researchers at Nanyang Technological University, working with a group at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and another colleague at ETH Zürich, has found evidence showing that parts of many big coastal cities are sinking faster than the sea is rising. In their paper published in the journal Nature Sustainability, the group describes using satellite-based radar to measure the degree of land subsidence for 48 of the largest cities in the world.
