Database of subsidence in major coastal cities around the world

<p>This database aims to be an open-source, accurate, peer-reviewed and comprehensive database of coastal cities currently experiencing land subsidence and its main and secondary causes. It aims to facilitate future research regarding subsidence in both priorly identified at-risk areas and in areas where the potential impact of subsidence is still unknown.</p> <p>The selection of the cities is based on the following papers:</p> <p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nicholls, R. J. (2008). The Exposure of Port Cities to Flooding: A Comparative Global Analysis.</p> <p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hallegatte, S., Green, C., Nicholls, R. J., &amp; Corfee-Morlot, J. (2013). Future flood losses in major coastal cities. Nature climate change, 3(9), 802-806.</p> <p>&middot;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solari, L., Del Soldato, M., Bianchini, S., Ciampalini, A., Ezquerro, P., Montalti, R., ... &amp; Moretti, S.
