"One centimeter of sea level rise and one centimeter of subsidence each have the same effects on flooding hazards," said Farzaneh Aziz Zanjani and Falk Amelung, highlighting the intertwined nature of these threats. This statement emphasizes the critical need for integrating subsidence data with rising sea level projections when planning infrastructure and climate resilience strategies. As coastal cities continue to experience both sinking and rising sea levels, understanding their combined impact is vital for effective environmental management and urban development.
Manoochehr Shirzaei noted, "That sinking can lead to expensive - and sometimes deadly - damage and flooding in some of the most populated places on Earth," conveying the urgent risks associated with subsiding coastal regions. Such dangers are heightened due to increasing population densities in coastal cities, making it crucial to address subsidence and its implications for disaster preparedness and urban sustainability.
