Challenges to Modeling the GHG Footprint of Hydropower Reservoirs Abstract: Quantifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from waterbodies is critical for carbon accounting as well as short- to long-term management, planning, and policy decisions related to water and energy infrastructure.

Tuesday, 21 February, 2023 8:00-10:00 AM Pacific Standard Time Land subsidence (LS), which is the gradual settling or sudden sinking of land surface, is caused among other things, by the removal of underground water from aquifers or dissolution of salt layers within geological structures caused main...

Mapping Global Subsidence and Its Impacts Due to Groundwater Depletion Abstract: Groundwater demand owing to rapid urbanization and irrigation-agriculture land uses is increasingly depleting aquifers worldwide leading to prevalent aquifer-system compaction and land subsidence.

Economic and Social Impacts of Land Subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, California Abstract: Extensive groundwater withdrawal from the unconsolidated deposits in the San Joaquin Valley, California, caused widespread land subsidence during some periods since the 1920s.

Impacts of Land Subsidence Due to Groundwater Withdrawal in the Segura Basin (SE Spain) Abstract: The Segura Basin covers an area of 18.870 km2 with a population over 1.7 million people. The basin is dominated by the Segura River and its tributaries, as the Guadalentn River.
