“…The orange cluster includes Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, and the UK. It is the largest cluster and includes the themes relative to the risks related to subsidence [103], like flooding [104,105], but also to the main causes such as sea level rise [106,107] and climate change. Studies in Canada, China, Iran, Mexico, Taiwan, and Thailand (red cluster) are mainly related to hydrogeology [108][109][110], with a lesser extent to mitigation measures related to the exploitation from the subsoil [83,[111][112][113].…”

Land subsidence (LS) is becoming one of the major problems in coastal and delta cities worldwide. Understanding the current LS situation and the research trends is of paramount importance for further studies and addressing future international research networks. We analyzed the LS-related literature available from the Scopus database. The use of a single database avoided the redundancy of articles, while excluding some subject areas was useful to obtain only studies related to LS. By using VOSviewer and CiteSpace tools, we conducted a bibliometric analysis by considering title, keywords, and abstract to identify the temporal development, the geographical origin, and the area of study of the research. The results revealed a considerable heterogeneity of approaches, thematics, study areas, and research output trends. China, the US, and Italy are the major contributors to the scientific production, but the higher number of articles is not always related to the extension of the LS phenomenon in these countries. The monitoring approach differs worldwide, and univocal modeling is still lacking; from the analysis of the keywords, it is clear that the focus of most studies is on the relationship with the hydrological/hydrogeological aspects. Since the 2000s, however, the development of SAR technologies has boosted the study of the phenomenon from a different point of view.

In the recent years, India has witnessed a rapid economic growth resulting in unplanned urbanization and a continuous migration of rural population to cities. A coastal megacity like Chennai is vulnerable to hazards such as land subsidence caused by the over exploitation of groundwater and an increasing load on its surface. An important consequence of this can be the heightened vulnerability of a large population to climate change in the form of increased flood inundation and sea level rise. Our study reports the first scientific assessment of land subsidence for the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) area which was conducted using the Persistent Scatterers Interferometry (PSI) method. The results of the average displacement velocity ranged between -30.66 to 25 mm/yr. Due to an uplift pattern occurring in some regions, the average subsidence rate calculated was -1.20 mm/yr, with a standard deviation value of 3.58. The results of the time series analysis showed the central business district of the city, zone 10 (Kodambakkam) to be subsiding steadily and consistently, with the rate of subsidence reaching -65 mm/yr in 2019. A strong positive correlation was found between the land subsidence rates and the groundwater levels for GCC based on a Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) of 0.81 and a coefficient of determination (r2) of 0.66. The study further showed a high degree of spatial overlap between the historical flood inundation data and land subsidence prone areas and also scrutinized the potential impact of the hazard on the railway infrastructure of the city.
