Abstract

The article discusses a study which described the relation between terrain subsidence and tectonic framework in Copenhagen and Aalborg in Denmark. The study uses persistent scatteter interferometry (PSI) to map areas of subsidence vulnerable to flooding. It states that the tectonic framework, such as the SE-NW-striking Carlsberg fault zone, can be evidence as a negative flower structure causing weak subsidence.
