Evaluating Land Subsidence Rates and Their Implications for Land Loss in the Lower Mississippi River Basin
High subsidence rates, along with eustatic sea-level change, sediment accumulation and shoreline erosion have led to widespread land loss and the deterioration of ecosystem health around the Lower Mississippi River Basin (LMRB). A proper evaluation of the spatial pattern of subsidence rates in the LMRB is the key to understanding the mechanisms of the submergence, estimating its potential impac...
متن کاملBroad-scale consequences of land management: Columbia basin example
Environmental policy discussions in the United States have been characterized by a constant tug-ofwar among an “unholy alliance of ignorance, ideology, and self-interest” since the early 1970s (see Blinder (1987) and Rolston (2000) for representative discussions of the roles scientists have played). Scientists are challenged in this tug-of-war when asked to interpret the social and biophysical ...

متن کاملLand Subsidence and Fissuring Due to Ground Water Withdrawal in Yazd-Ardakan Basin, Central Iran
The Yazd-Ardakan basin in Central Iran has two separated aquifers. The shallow unconfined aquifer is supplies 40 Qanats. The deep saturated confined aquifer is the main water storage. Due to over-withdrawal, water table has been decreasing during last 25 years. Recent study shows that the shortage of the aquifer is about 16 meters and land subsidence is 0.5 1.2 meters. Long deep cracks are foun...
متن کاملPlate tectonics and basin subsidence history
Tectonic setting exerts fi rst-order control on basin formation as refl ected in basin subsidence history. While our approach ignores the effects of fl exural loading and eustatic sea-level change, consistency of backstripped subsidence histories (i.e., with local loading effects of sediment removed) suggests consistent tectonic driving mechanisms in each tectonic setting, with the possible exc...
