A housing developer is trying to pull out of contributing more than £50 million worth of new infrastructure and community facilities - including a £30m major road improvement.The future of the A28 dualling project in Ashford has been thrown into doubt as it emerged Hodson Developments wants to scrap or delay dozens of agreed commitments.Also in today's podcast, staff have been left in tears after their much “lifeline” charity store had to permanently close following a backdated rent increase.The rental hike left them in £20,000 of arrears and meant it was unable to continue trading.A plan to build 65 homes on what was once part of West Malling Airfield has been recommended for approval despite more than 1,500 objections. The application, first submitted in 2021, has proved deeply controversial with a petition against the plans gathering hundreds of signatures. A pensioner whose sinking house needs critical repairs says a council blunder has caused months of anxiety and cost him thousands of pounds.He's been told he even faces prison if he carries out any work on the 19th-century home in Herne Bay. And, while most of us get ready for Christmas, a Maidstone man is preparing to row the Atlantic.You can hear from Andy Purvis who will set off on the 3-thousand mile journey to Antigua to raise money for charity. 

CrowdScience listeners David and Tatiana have long been captivated by an unusual dinner table discussion: the peculiar change they've noticed over the past 16 years in the sunlight streaming through their bedroom window in Ostend, Belgium. They're convinced that the room has not only become sunnier but that the actual angle of sunlight has shifted.Intrigued by their observations, we head to Ostend. Our mission: to investigate three of their theories, enlisting expert help along the way.Theory 1 – A celestial anomaly? René Oudmaijer at the Royal Observatory of Belgium considers whether our shifting position in the solar system might explain the change.Theory 2 – Movement in the Earth's crust? Alejandra Tovar from the Geological Survey of Belgium examines tectonic data to see if the Earth's crust is moving enough to alter the angle of sunlight.Theory 3 – Subsidence? Structural engineer Kath Hannigan helps us inspect the building for signs that it may be sinking or twisting.And we explore one final theory of our own, enlisting memory expert Julia Shaw to examine whether it could all be a trick of the mind. Will the team crack the case?Presenter: Caroline Steel Producer: Harrison Lewis Editor: Cathy Edwards Production co-ordinator: Ishmael Soriano Studio Manager: Sarah Hockley(Photo: CrowdScience listeners David and Tatiana standing in front of a window in their house)

This week we talk about the raising of Chicago, Jakarta, and sea level rise.We also discuss groundwater, flooding, and insurance.Recommended Book: Once Upon a Tome by Oliver DarkshireTranscriptIn the mid-19th century, the city of Chicago, its many sidewalks and buildings and other infrastructure, were hoisted using jackscrews, which are kind of like heavy-duty versions of the jacks you might use to lift your car to replace a tire.The impetus for this undertaking, which was substantial and paid for with a combination of city and private funds, was Chicago's persistent drainage issues: the city was located at about the same altitude as neighboring Lake Michigan, and the ground upon which it was constructed was consequently pretty swampy to begin with, but became even more so as all those sidewalks and buildings and other human-made environmental objects were installed, putting downward pressure on that swampy soil, which led to widespread and persistent pools of standing water throughout the city.All this standing water led to the spread of diseases like dysentery and typhoid fever—the sorts of issues that tend to arise when there's opportunity for pathogenic beasties to hang out and spread and come into contact with drinking water sources, not to mention essentially every surface in a city, and in 1854 there was an outbreak of cholera—which is also caused by bacteria getting into peoples' bodies, usually from infected water sources—that killed about 6% of Chicago's total population.So this was an area that was already prone to what's called subsidence—the sinking of land that can be both natural and sparked or amplified by human activity in various ways—and Chicago's development into a city sped up that process, causing it to sink even further, quite rapidly, and that led to a collection of mostly but not exclusively water-related issues, which at this moment in history, the mid-19th century, meant a lot of disease-spread due to insufficient water sanitation efforts and infrastructure, and a very hit-or-miss understanding of the mechanisms of the diseases that were carried by that insufficiently treated water.The first brick building to be hoisted in this way was elevated in January of 1858 and required about 200 jackscrews to lift it six feet and 2 inches higher than its previous altitude, and that kicked-off a period of remarkably rapid and successful elevations throughout the city, including all sorts of huge, heavy, at times quite wide and cumbersome buildings of all heights and material composition, installing elements of the city's new sewage systems around the existing buildings, then covering all that up with soil, pouring or reinstalling roads and sidewalks atop that soil at the new height, and then raising all the buildings, filling the space beneath them with soil as they were slowly cranked up to that new baseline.This wasn't a straightforward effort, and there were several false-starts, initial problems that had to be solved, and quite a few pieces of the old city that either couldn't be elevated, and thus had to be buried and rebuilt, or that were moved to new locations, placed on rollers and shifted to areas, mostly on the outskirts of the city, which kept them aloft without having to raise them using the jackscrew method.Interestingly, some of the elevated buildings, like the Tremont House hotel, continued to function even as they were raised; guests continued to frequent the hotel, and some of them apparently didn't even realize it was in the process of being elevated while they were staying there.This process was largely completed in the 1960s, and much of the city, as it existed at the time, was raised by 4 and 14 feet—and that provided space for the new sewage system that would help with all those water and water-borne illness issues, while also establishing a new baseline altitude for future developments, which would be able to use that same sewer system while also being lifted up high enough that flooding and similar water-adjacent, low-lying land issues wouldn't be a problem most of the time.What I'd like to talk about today is the issue of subsidence in other cities around the world, today, and some of the solutions we're seeing deployed to address it.—The world is packed with sinking cities: a term typically applied to urban centers that are rapidly losing elevation, sinking into the ground due to a combination of natural and human instigated variables.Chicago is a sinking city, as though all that lifting back in the 19th century helped it with both immediate and potential future, sinking-related problems, the Chicago metro area is still primarily built atop clay which contracts as it's heated.This heat-related deformation hasn't always been much of an issue, but as more buildings have been erected and as the shift in our global climate has led to on-average higher temperatures for more of the year, the ground beneath Chicago, and quite a few other cities worldwide, has been slowly but measurably deforming, expanding and contracting more rapidly and dramatically due to temperature swings, which in turn has caused building foundations to shift and the surface, the ground upon which residents walk and build and live, to sink downward, which causes damage to those building foundations and to infrastructure that doesn't flex to accomodate this movement past a certain point, like roads, bridges, power lines, and basically everything else that makes up a city.The majority of sinking cities, those at the top of the list in terms of ground deformation and elevation loss, anyway, are located on coasts, and because about 2.15 billion people live in near-coastal zones, and around 898 million live within the most directly impacted, low-elevation coastal zones around the world—both of those numbers steadily rising as more people move closer to the world's on-average wealthier and more opportunity-rich coastal areas—this is a significant and growing issue because the costs and dangers associated with such areas are also increasing, in part because larger populations tend to amplify the same.A study published in 2022 that looked at the subsidence rate in 99 coastal cities from 2015 to 2020, intending to get a more accurate sense of just how rapidly they're sinking, found that while sinkage is occurring most rapidly across Asia, it's also happening on all the other inhabited continents—all of them except non-city-having Antarctica—and while the latent properties of these areas are partly to blame, human activity, especially the extraction of groundwater, is often a primary culprit causing these cities to sink.Even more alarming, in some ways, is that while experts are already alarmed about rising sea levels, as ice caps and glaciers and other stores of water melt due to higher average temperatures and more frequent and dramatic heat waves, the rate of subsidence in most of these sinking cities is higher than the rate of sea level rise.In other words, sea level rise is already causing insurance companies to leave some coastal areas and government coffers to run dry as they attempt to shore-up regions that are being lost to global oceans, but it would seem that many cities that are subsiding in this way are sinking faster than the water around them is rising—so the two opposite movements in parallel are amplifying those sea-level-rise-associated issues, but the issue of subsidence, which hasn't been as big a focus in mainstream conversation thus far, would seem to be the larger issue in many cases, and not terribly well addressed in most cities where it's an issue.Important to note is that just as subsidence isn't a single cause problem, since it's the consequence of both natural features and human activity, it's also not a single consequence issue: just as Chicago suffered from both flooding-related and disease-related problems tied to subsidence, so too do these other sinking cities suffer a portfolio of associated ailments.Probably the most immediate concern for most sinking cities, today, is similar to that of sea level rise.While it may be common to imagine that rising sea levels will someday leave threatened cities underwater 100% of the time like a modern Atlantis, the real issue, today, is that as the ocean gets higher, closer to the level of coastal land, it takes smaller and smaller perturbations in that water for it to surge inland, covering more and more territory.So buildings and roads that previously flooded once every ten years will flood every year, those that were previously inconvenienced by minor floods will be severely, perhaps permanently damaged by deeper and more intense floods that stick around longer, and areas further inland that were previously protected from surging ocean waters will start to flood, despite never having experienced flooding previously, and thus not being built to standards that would allow them to survive even relatively minor flooding.Again, the combination of sea level rise and subsidence is basically doubling the impact of this sort of issue, causing more intense and regular flooding in these regions earlier than was previously anticipated, and thus messing with or totally screwing over plans made by city governance to handle such problems.I mentioned earlier that the consumption of groundwater is often a component of this problem, and the general idea is that when modern humans move into a new region, they typically drill wells and start pumping water from deep underground, moving that underground water above ground for all sorts of uses, from drinking to filling our toilets to watering our lawns to manufacturing-related applications.Moving all that water from underground to aboveground is similar, in terms of consequences, to moving a bunch of rock or soil from underground to aboveground: it causes the remaining ground to sink, because there's less stuff down there to hold everything on the surface up at its existing level.Some previously sinking cities, like Tokyo, have been able to largely halt their subsidence by reducing the pumping of groundwater, Tokyo officials having implemented regulations to address the issue in the early 1960s, which brought their sinking issues to an end about a decade later.Shanghai did something similar, but instead of halting all groundwater pumping, they required that these underground supplies of water be refilled after extraction, so the amount of water down there stays roughly equal, even if some is pumped for various uses sometimes—another way to accomplish essentially the same end, and a solution that seems to have not quite halted, but significantly slowed sinkage in Shanghai in the years since that policy was implemented.Houston, in the US, also introduced groundwater remediation efforts in the 1970s, which seemed to have helped slow its sinkage, as did the Silicon Valley area in the 1960s.The fastest-sinking cities in the world, today, according to that new study, and other recent research into the same, are Tianjin, Semarang, and Jakarta, the first of which is located in China, and the latter two of which are located in Indonesia.These three cities are sinking almost 15-times faster than global mean sea levels are rising, and this is a big part of why the Indonesian government decided to move its capital from Jakarta to a new city the government is building on the island of Borneo.It's estimated that one-third of Jakarta could be completely submerged essentially 100% of the time by 2050, and there are about 10.5 million people living in Jakarta, so that means a lot of people whose homes and businesses and neighborhoods are prone to flood regularly, today, may be gone completely, lost to the ocean, by mid-century—which by any measure is a highly destabilizing sequence of events, and will almost certainly lead to a large number of lost lives and a huge sum of lost wealth, not to mention the secondary issues that may arise as all those people moving out of these no longer habitable areas move elsewhere, stressing the systems in those new areas, including but not limited to the need for more water, which may need to be pumped from underground, causing more urban centers to sink, or to sink faster.Jakarta is not alone in facing this heightened risk: there are many other big population centers around the world that are prone to similar outcomes, including but not limited to Chittagong and Dhaka in Bangladesh, Manila in the Philippines, Karachi in Pakistan, Kolkata and Mumbai in India, Guangzhou in China, Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Bangkok in Thailand, Miami and New York City and New Orleans in the US, and Mexico City in Mexico, alongside many, many other cities that are built on naturally subsidence-prone land, are draining that land's groundwater or oil or other underground resources, are building heavy infrastructure on the ground which causes it to settle and sink, and in some cases are built atop or near shifting tectonic plates that rumble continuously enough that the sediment is pretty much always naturally compacting, the ground always deforming just a little bit, and all that adds up over time, causing the same or similar issues.The most immediate consequences we're seeing in many of these areas is that insurance companies are leaving because it's no longer a winning bet to be operating in increasingly disaster prone regions, and that is likely to spread to other industries that no longer want to invest in assets that may be underwater part time or all of the time before they're expected to recoup their investment cost.People will either leave these areas, fleeing for more secure ground, or they'll stay, putting their lives and their wealth of various kinds at risk as they do so.Poorer people, so far at least, have tended to bear a disproportionate amount of the burden associated with these sorts of shifts, and resultantly the human and economic costs associated with impoverished populations are tending to increase, as is the number of impoverished people in afflicted areas, because of that aforementioned risk to wealth, an accompanying lack of security, and the increasingly difficult time people and businesses are having insuring their assets in these areas.There are efforts to mitigate subsidence underway in some of these regions, including the use of advanced tools like LIDAR and satellite imagery to pinpoint the primary regional causes of sinkage, and the passing of policies, like the groundwater regulations introduced in several sinking cities in the 20th century, that then help halt or slow their city's subsidence rate.Many cities are reorienting around an adaptation strategy, too, in part because sea walls and similar solutions don't work as well when it's not just sea level rise you have to worry about, and in part because the costs are more moderate than completely revamping a city's infrastructure to account for all that sinking.In most cases this means deploying a series of systemic changes alongside relatively light-touch infrastructural ones, so increasing the ground's capacity to sponge-up water, rerouting, replacing, or removing water-based infrastructure that can reduce a city's capacity to absorb rainfall, planting trees and similar water-breaks in flood-prone coastal areas, introducing early warning systems and evacuation plans in case of severe flooding, and overall attempting to allow flood waters to roll through with the minimum amount of damage, rather than struggling, and failing, to keep it out entirely.We're in the early days of this sort of adaption and mitigation evolution, though, and a lot of what we're trying now likely won't work as well as we had hoped—not everywhere it's tried, at least—and other solutions will almost certainly emerge in the coming years that turn out to be much more effective, and possibly cost-effective, too.The sheer expansiveness and significance of the problem, though, will necessarily spark the innovation of a variety of approaches, systems, and technologies, and it's possible we'll see a flurry of new moderating elements deployed and installed in the coming years—alongside a slew of fresh tragedies in cities that suffer essentially continuous problems related to subsidence and flooding, in the meantime.Show

Scientists predict climate change will make sea levels rise, threatening many coastal communities. A new study finds another threat could make sea level flooding worse, as Roxy Todd reports.

In this week's episode of The Property Rebel: Arsh will be answering one of our listeners' questions: Would you buy properties with a history of subsidence? Subsidence is when the ground moves down and damages the house. It can happen for many reasons, like dry soil, old mines, broken pipes, or big trees. Buying houses with subsidence can be cheap, but also tricky, as they need fixing and improving. Arsh tells you how to find, check, and deal with subsidence houses, and how to make money from them, as long as you know how to look for tell-tale signs and where to look to get the maximum benefits of purchasing properties like these.   Book Your 1 Hour Call with Arsh here: http://bit.ly/1HourPropertyCoach Wanna connect with Arsh?

In this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Dr. Tom Parsons about his study called The Weight of New York City, Possible Contributions to Subsidence from Anthropogenic Sources published in Earth's Future. He tells us what subsidence is and how it is measured, how and by how much the skyscrapers and buildings of NYC are contributing to it, why we should care about it, and what are the potential short-term and long-term implications. He talks about the potential implications from a "One Health" perspective, specifically in the realm of how our environment impacts our health. He also talks about what his study shows versus how it was presented by many media outlets, serving as an interesting case study for those in the scientific communications field. Dr. Tom Parsons earned his PhD in geophysics from Stanford University and is a Research Geophysicist at the US Geological Survey in Menlo Park, California.

Cities and states along the I-10 are having to consider many existential questions as the climate warms. Looking to the future, the question is whether these communities can adequately respond and adapt to intensifying storm patterns, rising sea levels and extreme drought.It's a radical shift in thought, given that earlier centuries of American settlement were primarily focused on developing technologies to bend nature to our will. The century that unfolds before us now suggests these roles may ultimately become reversed.It is hard to find a more compelling historic example of this high wire walk between man and nature than in the story of New Orleans, a city built upon particularly unforgivable lands. In this latest episode, Ten Across founder Duke Reiter speaks with Richard Campanella, author of Draining New Orleans: the 300 Year Quest to Dewater the Crescent City (2023) to understand the series of engineering decisions that created the city as we know it today — dangerously seated below a rising ocean and in the eye of intensifying tropical storms.

The foundations of a building are not a luxury. If you have ever purchased a house, you will have almost certainly had a building survey carried out. Part of this process would be to ensure that the foundations were solid. Subsidence is no laughing matter! The recent hot summers have caused problems for many, as loss of moisture in the soil has caused it to contract, damaging foundations. It's always important to find out what is happening underneath a building. Jesus used the illustration of a building's foundation as the punch line of his sermon. He pointed out that in good weather, all houses look the same. It doesn't matter whether they have been built on rock or sand. But when the storm comes, you definitely notice the difference! The house built on rock stands confidently and securely, while the one that was foolishly built on sand gets swept away by the storm. It's just the same in life. When everything is going smoothly, you cannot easily tell the difference between those who have a strong Christian faith and those who haven't. But when the person has an accident, becomes disabled, faces death or financial ruin suddenly the truth is revealed. Their lack of foundations is clear for all to see. Life's foundations are important. Just like in a building, it's not an issue that can be delayed. We need to know that our lives are firmly established on rock which will not move anywhere in the storms of life. Jesus said that his words formed that solid foundation. As we build our daily lives on his teaching, we can be confident that we will be secure whatever challenges life might throw at us. QUESTION In what ways have you found Jesus' teaching to be foundational for your life? PRAYER Lord Jesus, help me to keep building on the firm foundations of your teaching. Amen

Welcome back to another episode of Beyond the Green Line. Today, our host, Shonelle Gleeson-Willey, talks with Susan Lyle, a retired farmer on the Liverpool planes. Susan is a community leader in the Liverpool Planes Action Group and has spent 16 years opposing coal mines on some of the most precious lands of Australia.We hear about Susan's fight against the eventually unsuccessful exploration licenses of BHP and Shenhua Watermark and a bit about what is next for the Liverpool Planes Action Group (formerly known as the Caroona Coal Action Group).Susan spent much of her life farming the Liverpool planes of Northwest NSW, which host highly fertile, self-mulching black soils.In 2006, BHP acquired a license to mine coal beneath the planes, which would have destroyed groundwater and compromised the fertile land.Susan immediately began partnering with indigenous Gomeroi people in their opposition to the mines, as many sacred sites exist in the area.They organized a year-long human blockade to prevent BHP's attempts to move through the area, and media outlets picked up on the story, giving BHP some very effective negative attention.BHP's final decision to cancel their plans for the mine was motivated by finally realizing how difficult the location would be. Subsidence and water filling the mines would have posed significant challenges. The government offered to repurchase the license, citing risks to the region's agricultural future and underground aquifers. Even when the license was granted, it included an assessment that listed threatened species and water resource impact, which effectively made it impossible for them to carry out a profitable business. Then, the mine proposal went to the NSW Mining and Petroleum Gateway Panel and failed their evaluation.So, why did it take about eight more years to get shut down after that? Susan shares that the almighty dollar influenced this and that the public attention her action group garnered helped turn the tide.She also asserts that the departments of water, agriculture, and others should communicate before any permissions are granted and exercise more rigorous pre-planning.Another entity, the Shenhua Watermark Mine, was granted an exploration license in 2008 on the Liverpool planes.The Caroona Coal Action group went to bat against this as well, working very closely with the Gomeroi people and other action groups, and won once more - exposing a lack of transparency and flawed reporting on studies on Shenhua's part and a second government buy-back occurred in 2017.We can learn several important lessons from Susan and the action group's determination. She reminds us to concentrate on the issues that will make the most convincing arguments. She also emphasizes the importance of independent information and remembering the significance of the cause whenever things get tiring.We will also hear about the Liverpool Planes Action Group's newest fight, in which Susan says: “Good luck, government.”

There are many variables that play a role in understanding the impacts of water as it relates to the development of different environments. Kayla Cotterman is an Environmental Scientist with the Lochmueller Group who studies the impact to wetlands for groups wanting to develop. Cotterman discusses variables such as water usage, storm water, runoff, and historic rain events. Factors such as these are taken into consideration when advising engineering firms about the construction of buildings, so that they will be able to withstand the environment in which they are being built.

Ramana Maharshi's words: "For the subsidence of mind there is no other means more effective and adequate than Self-enquiry. Even though by other means the mind subsides, that is only apparently so; it will rise again." Commentary by Richard Clarke. Audio from Nome, "Beyond Body, Mind, and Ego."

Ramana Maharshi's words: "This state of mere inherence in pure Being is known as the Vision of Wisdom. Such inherence means and implies the entire subsidence of the mind in the Self. Nothing other than this, and no psychic powers of the mind such as thought-reading, telepathy, and clairvoyance, can be Wisdom." Comments by Richard Clarke, audio from Nome, "Absorption in Silence."

On this episode of Delta Dispatches, Jacques Hebert and Simone Maloz talk to Elizabeth Chamberlain, Assistant Professor, Wageningen University, about her career as a coastal geologist. Liz got her start at LSU and Tulane researching the Mississippi River Delta and has gone on to study deltas around the world. She joins Jacques and Simone to discuss a new paper based on research in the Lafourche Delta, focusing on how subsidence impacts the Mississippi River Delta and its implications for restoration projects in Louisiana. Her new paper “Does Load-Induced Shallow Subsidence Inhibit Delta Growth?” was published earlier this month: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2021JF006153.

In previous episodes of SINK, a series exploring subsidence and evictions in New Orleans, we've talked about the plight of landlords and tenants, an already fraught situation exacerbated by the pandemic. For this episode, I want to address Environmental Eviction. When the land is no longer habitable and people are forced to move. But what causes this change? I talked to local artists and activists John Taylor and Monique Verdin for their perspective. This is the Antenna Signals Podcast, a podcast exploring the people and ideas that flow into and out of New Orleans. We're on Episode 4 of our Series on Evictions and Subsidence. This is SINK:: Episode 4::It Belongs to You. Thank you to Monique Verdin and John Taylor.

Land Acknowledgement by Monique Verdin, Houma Nation, 2021 Juneteenth "There would be no land to acknowledge upon which you now rest if it were not for the Mississippi River. Indigenous Peoples have respected this ever-shifting fluid state at the end of one of the world's largest river systems, inhabiting the high grounds, along the bayous of Bvlbancha, for centuries, as long as there has been land in these territories. Bvlbancha, “place of many tonges” as the Chahta called it, a place of many languages, know better as the global port city rebranded as New Orleans. Ancestral and current Indigenous stewards of these lands and waters, are Chahta, Chitimatcha, Houma, Biloxi, Washa, Chawasha, Bayougoula, Tchoupitoulas, Tunica, Atakapa-Ishak, Caddo, Natchez, Acolapissa, Taensa, and other nations; And all those nations that were erased or assimilated before colonial records had a change to document their existence. The Atakapa-Ishak called these high grounds, where a crossroads of waterways provide access to sites of sacred trade and ceremony ‘the big village,' Nun Ush. A territory of biological and cultural diversity, where water travels through, looking to be purified as it makes its water cycle journey back to the sea or skies. This place is also where many People from Senegambia, the Blight of Benin, Bight of Biafra, and West-Central Africa and other African Nations were brought against their will, enslaved upon these lands. A place were Immigrants and Indigenous peoples from around the world have found and continue to find themselves, due to desires for a better life or nonnegotiable destinies, in this complicated and infinitely beautiful powerpoint on the planet known in the Lower Mississippi River Delta."

Flood Explosion and Land Subsidence in China, Natural or Man made Disaster? Zooming In China

Coal mines are prevalent in our area of Pennsylvania.  You can protect yourself against mine subsidence, but - believe or not - only a low 8 PERCENT of people actually do.  Your house could be a little as 15 feet above an abandoned coal mine, and you wouldn't even know it.  Mine subsidence is not gradual.  It happens quickly, with very little warning!  There's lots of important info for you on this episode of The Real Estate Roundtable with Century 21 Jack Ruddy Real Estate.

With over 21.6 million people, the infrastructure of Mexico City faces a daily strain that is both immense and unique. And while we've covered some of the challenges this creates, including the recent and devastating collapse of a metro train overpass, a report on Wired.com adds a unique problem to the mix.Using radar-based ground measurement tools that can go up to 100' into the earth, geologists think areas of the world's second largest city could sink as much as 100' over the next 150 years. The phenomenon is called subsidence, and it could be a big problem for nearly half of Mexico City's population.Subsidence happens when too much groundwater is extracted, causing the land above it to compact, and sink. And if that's not bad enough, the land doesn't sink in a uniform manner, which creates a huge issue for roads, bridges, sewer pipes and other infrastructure running between two endpoints that could be sinking, or not sinking, by disparate amounts.

There's been calls for immediate remedial works to be carried out at the historic Aughaloughy graveyard at Drumkeeran. There's been subsidence on the graveyard site in recent days and local resident Hubert McHugh says people are concerned over possible further slippage

S-I-N-K. You know the feeling. That sinking feeling where you think you’re on solid ground. But everything’s falling apart. To live in New Orleans is to live near the water. We breathe it in our air. We feel it on our skin and under our feet. I wanted to know about the science of the ground sinking beneath us. And maybe by looking at subsidence of Louisiana soil while simultaneously learning more about the housing policies rooted upon this earth…maybe I could think about all of this in a new way. Maybe I can learn more about my part in this ecosystem. And work to make changes for the benefit of all involved. ---------------- Many thanks to our guests for their contributions to this episode: Cyndhia Ramatchandirane, a geoscientist at Earthjustice working to communicate the health, environmental and climate impacts of fossil fuels. https://earthjustice.org/about/staff/cyndhia-ramatchandirane Hannah Adams, a attorney focused on landlord tenant disputes and a board member of Jane Place Neighborhood Sustainability Initiative

The theme for this episode is Subsidence, the sinking of the earth. I think about this sinking when I look around our city of New Orleans.
 I think about how the pandemic has removed the primary source of income for so many people and the sinking feeling that comes with that.
 And I think about the massive amounts of evictions that are coming. So I talked to some people who have been working on housing issues since long before restaurants shuttered and parades got cancelled. I talked to some people who know how the earth can disappear beneath your feet. This is the first episode of a series on Subsidence and Evictions in New Orleans.

You Asked, We Answered! Transcript of the podcast Hello, and welcome to Episode 22, Is the Mississippi River Delta really sinking? My name is Joseph Opdenaker. In this podcast I would like to tell you about the Mississippi river delta, what troubles the delta and we as the people are facing, and finally we will find out if the delta is really sinking, and why if it really is sinking. First and foremost, [1] the Mississippi River Delta covers about 40% of the coastal wetlands in about 48 states, which most is in the state of the Louisiana. [1] Many people, and animals truly depend on this delta. Without this delta, the animals would start to die off, and they would end up becoming extinct. For the people, especially the ones that live in the city of New Orleans, they really depend on this for many reasons. The first reason is that there are animals there, that the people in the city of New Orleans hunt and fish. This is important for restaurants, and also for people who need to consume food. The second reason is that this delta brings in many tourists. With these tourists, it brings in more people, and that is more money for the city of New Orleans. The third reason that this delta is very important is that this delta is huge for navigation. The fourth and final reason is the plants. There are many different plants that depend on this delta in order to survive. Now, we all know that plants are not exactly like humans, but humans truly depend on plants. Not only do plants provide a food source, but plants provide oxygen and many other great sources that we need in order to survive. Also, animals eat this vegetation, and going back to the animals, if they do not have to option to eat this vegetation, then they either A have to become carnivores… YUCK, or option B is that they starve to death and end up becoming extinct. Many ships and boats go up, down, and through this delta. Without this delta a lot of imported and exported goods could be either delayed or end up not going through at all. The New Orleans economy and the places that surround this deltas’ economy in essence depend on this delta to thrive. There are many issues that the delta is facing right now. A couple of these issues that are being faced is [1] wetland loss, global warming, gas and [2] oil infrastructure, dams that are upriver, sea level rise, subsidence, oil spill, and invasive species. The first issue that I will discuss is the wetland loss. [1] Costal Louisiana is losing 24 square miles of wetlands each year. If you put that in perspective, that is like losing one football field every thirty minutes. That is incredible and very scary. By the year 2040, if we do not stop what we are doing to these wetlands, they will disappear, like they were never here. The causes of wetland loss are from natural causes, subsidence (which we will get into), wave erosion, and human causes. We are part of the problem. Another issue that is hurting the delta is subsidence. [2] Subsidence is land formed by river sediments that naturally subsides and sinks over time. What this means is that as soil, dirt, and other particles start to lay in one certain spot, and hill, and possibly land will be made from this. At some point this will go away. With subsidence, this will make sea levels and water rise, which can cause flooding and that is no good. Another issue that the delta faces is oil spills. With the oil spills that have occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, the oil will spread for miles and miles. The issue with this is that when that happens, animals, people, and plants are affected. Animals are effected especially when the oil gets on their skin or fur. For people oil spills in the water affect the economy because of the lack of food supply coming from the ocean and the delta. For plants, they will wither and die because of the oil, it is not good for them to consume. The last issue that I will discuss that has to do with the delta is the invasive species. Invasive species are animals, rodents, plants, etc. that are disastrous for a certain piece of land or an area. The issue is that if the delta gets infested with these insects or rodents, it will drive out or kill wildlife that has always been there, and they will destroy plants, and infect the water there. The final question that we have been all anticipating is whether or not the Mississippi river delta is really sinking. To answer your question, yes, the [3] Mississippi river delta is sinking or another way to put it is that the delta is drowning. [3] Michael Blum of LSU in Baton Rouge said that there is not enough sediment to sustain the delta plain. Since the 1950’s, about 70% of the sediment has been trapped within the delta. With this, that means that the delta has started eroding. With the sea level rise and the trapping of the sediment which has caused erosion, the delta is bound to drown or “sink” by the year 2100. This is significant because if we start to try and restore the delta now, we can slow down this process. But, because we have waited too long to try and restore the delta, at some point maybe not in our lifetime the delta will sink completely. I think this has a part to do with the life cycle and with the end of the worlds we deal with. Like the ice age, things will die and it will take time but it will restore. The delta will be back one day but putting a time frame on it is almost impossible. The only thing that I can tell you is that the delta will sink.
