Critical observations reveal sinking coasts
Vertical land motion (VLM) across the US Atlantic coast.
a
Estimated VLM rate. The circles show the location of GNSS validation observations color-coded with their respective vertical velocities.
b
Histogram comparing GNSS vertical rates with estimated VLM rates. The standard deviation (SD) of the difference between the two datasets is 1.3 mm per year.
c
Land subsidence (representing negative VLM) across the US Atlantic Coast. The black rectangles indicate the extent of study areas for Chesapeake Bay area and Georgia,…
