The Relative Land Motion map showing subsidence on Wanstead Flats inwards East London
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 novel interactive map of the Britain plots rattling modest changes inwards elevation to exhibit where the terra firma is experiencing subsidence in addition to where the terra firma is experiencing uplift. Zoom inwards on whatever place on the Relative Land Motion Map of the UK in addition to yous tin forcefulness out uncovering out whether an surface area saw whatever warping of the terra firma surface betwixt 2015 in addition to 2017.
On the interactive map areas colored ruddy accept experienced subsidence in addition to areas colored bluish accept seen uplift. These modest movements inwards terra firma surface accept been detected past times comparison imagery captured past times the Sentinel-1 satellite. Satellite interferometry has been used to uncovering modest changes inwards unlike satellite images of the same location. In this means it is possible to exhibit where the terra firma surface has experienced subsidence or uplift over time.
In the United Kingdom virtually changes to the levels of the terra firma surface are caused past times "groundwater levels, undercover mining, landslides, surface erosion (such every bit inwards open-cast mines) in addition to soil compression (such every bit inwards drained peatlands)".
On the interactive map to a greater extent than or less examples of areas that accept seen changes to terra firma surface levels accept been highlighted on the map. The white rectangles exhibit areas where mining, civil technology scientific discipline projects or geological features accept caused pregnant subsidence or uplift. If yous lead 1 of these rectangles on the map a modest information window volition opened upwards explaining why the surface area has experienced warping of the terra firma surface.
