Tide-gauges, subsidence-gauges and flood-stones in the Netherlands

Description of land subsidence in the Netherlands in the period from about 1650-1950, based on observations from gauges.

Tectonic movements as resulting from the comparison of two precision levellings

Conclusions from precision gauging and levelling memasurements regarding the subsidence of land and relative rise of the sea level due to tectonic action

Flood Risks in Sinking Delta Cities: Time for a Reevaluation?

Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding and reliance on flood defenses for cities built on deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis with hydrodynamic modeling to quantify the effect of projected relative SLR on dike failures and flood hazards for Shanghai, one of the most exposed delta cities. We...
