Abstract
By analyzing the spatial and temporal distribution, evolution law and driving factors of land subsidence in Tongzhou area, we can provide scientific basis for regional disaster prediction, prevention and urban planning. This study utilized the IPTA-based SBAS-InSAR method, incorporating multiple data sources to obtain surface deformation results for Tongzhou District from 2003 to 2018, and the distribution characteristics and spatiotemporal evolution patterns of land subsidence were studied in Beijing's Tongzhou District. Additionally, using the MIC method, combined with spatial analysis techniques and statistical methods, the study analyzed the impact of factors such as groundwater levels in different aquifers and the thickness of compressible layers on land subsidence. The results revealed that land subsidence in Beijing's Tongzhou District is unevenly distributed, with major subsidence areas concentrated in BMAC and Taihu. During the study period, surface deformation rates ranged from −147 to 24 mm/yr, showing an initial acceleration followed by a deceleration trend. The third and fourth aquifers were identified as the dominant factors influencing changes in land subsidence, and interactions between different aquifers may also play a role. For varying compressible thicknesses, the second and third layers were the primary contributors to land subsidence. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of land subsidence in Tongzhou District, offering a foundation for further research and informing decision-making for sustainable urban development.
期刊介绍:
Groundwater for Sustainable Development is directed to different stakeholders and professionals, including government and non-governmental organizations, international funding agencies, universities, public water institutions, public health and other public/private sector professionals, and other relevant institutions. It is aimed at professionals, academics and students in the fields of disciplines such as: groundwater and its connection to surface hydrology and environment, soil sciences, engineering, ecology, microbiology, atmospheric sciences, analytical chemistry, hydro-engineering, water technology, environmental ethics, economics, public health, policy, as well as social sciences, legal disciplines, or any other area connected with water issues. The objectives of this journal are to facilitate: • The improvement of effective and sustainable management of water resources across the globe. • The improvement of human access to groundwater resources in adequate quantity and good quality. • The meeting of the increasing demand for drinking and irrigation water needed for food security to contribute to a social and economically sound human development. • The creation of a global inter- and multidisciplinary platform and forum to improve our understanding of groundwater resources and to advocate their effective and sustainable management and protection against contamination. • Interdisciplinary information exchange and to stimulate scientific research in the fields of groundwater related sciences and social and health sciences required to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals for sustainable development.
