Pozzuoli is located at the center of the Campi Flegrei caldera, near Naples and is famous for its anomalous subsidence and upheaval documented since the Roman period. Its secular and gradual subsidence can be interpreted as self-loading compaction of the caldera fills while abrupt upheavals are geologically suspected to be caused by magmagenic movements or steam forces. In order to interpret th...

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...

The purpose of this study was to assess whether subsidence occurs in collarless Corail hip replacement (CCHR) and to ascertain the extent and timing of subsidence if present. Retrospective case notes analysis was performed. Sixty eight patients who had CCHR were identified from our database. Male to female ratio was 32:36. Their mean age was 74.2 years (range 37-95 years). Indications for surge...

Continued excessive extraction of groundwater may lead to significant land subsidence, which causes economic loss. The aim of this research is to investigate ground subsidence in several Australian capital cities using the Persistent Scatterer Interferometry approach. Such studies may help improve our understanding of the deformation of terrain and built structures, and evaluate the effectivene...

There has been increasing interest over the last few years in the use of radar interferometry for land subsidence evaluation/monitoring. InSAR time series algorithms such as PSI and small baseline methods offer the possibility to measure ground displacements to a degree of accuracy comparable to traditional geodetic technique such as leveling. This preliminary work reveals the potential of time...
