“…In flat areas, increasing subsidence can be associated with more frequent and longer inundations of land close to water bodies. In urban areas, localized differential ground settling can trigger building damage (Cigna et al, 2012;Osmanoglu, Dixon, Wdowinski, Cabral-Cano, & Jiang, 2011), loss of structure functionality and wellcasing failure. In addition to conventional geodetic monitoring systems (e.g., GPS, levelling benchmarks), Earth Observation techniques have demonstrated, in recent years, their effectiveness in measuring land motion in a wide range of application fields.…”
