Scientists at the University of Miami reported that 35 luxury high-rise buildings in the Miami area have sunk 2 to 8 centimeters from 2016 to 2023, revealing significant subsidence.
Lead author Farzaneh Aziz Zanjani expressed that the unexpected extent of subsidence hotspots in South Florida emphasizes the necessity for continuous monitoring and understanding of potential long-term impacts on coastal structures.
Gregor Eberli clarified that the intent of their findings was not to alarm residents, but to provide a quantitative assessment of subsidence levels for better management.
