Subsidence is a concern, because as the water table lowers, the soil compacts.

For mid-latitude coasts that border subduction zones, sequences of buried soils may provide a long - duration, subsidence stratigraphic paleoseismic record that spans to the present, but in other settings such as the Aceh coastal plain, joint research approaches, for example targeted foraminiferal analyses and palynology, are required to both exploit the changing form of the relative sea - level curve and characterize coastal evolution in the context of the diminishing importance of accommodation space.
