Sentences with phrase «subsidence due»

Detailed impacts, however, will vary strongly from region to region and coast to coast and therefore can not be easily generalized, as changing mean and extreme coastal water levels depend on a combination of near shore and offshore processes, related to climatic but also non-climatic anthropogenic factors, such as natural land movement arising from tectonics, volcanism or compaction; land subsidence due to anthropogenic extraction of underground resources; and changes in coastal morphology resulting from sediment transport induced by natural and / or anthropogenic factors.

Other areas, such as tidewater Virginia, tidal gages show sea levels are rising due to land subsidence, primarily from groundwater extraction.

Perhaps some gross thermomechanical process of restructuring the climate mechanisms (some small fraction of these were identified in the Stadium Wave paper, for instance) is ongoing, and the energy of restructuring — melting, subliming and carrying away Arctic sea ice and Greenland and Antarctic land ice net to the atmosphere, higher humidity absorbing gross water amounts to a level impacting sea level rise on the millimeter or sub-millimeter level, expansion of land due heat, or more likely erosion, silting and subsidence, and so on — is responsible for a Black Swan.

While a large degree of wetland loss in the Gulf of Mexico is inevitable due to the dual forces of land subsidence and sea level rise, project developer Tierra Resources and utility Entergy are optimistic that wetland restoration is possible in some areas.

Most countries in South, South East and East Asia are particularly vulnerable to sea level rise due to rapid economic growth and coastward migration of people into urban coastal areas together with high rates of anthropogenic subsidence (for example due to water extraction) in deltas where many of the densely populated areas are located.
