In the Netherlands, subsidence of peat and clay soils due\u0000to (artificial) lowering of the groundwater table and loading of soft soils\u0000is commonplace, causing extensive damage to exposed and vulnerable assets.\u0000Awareness of subsidence-related damage to buildings has recently increased\u0000in the Netherlands, particularly after reported damages due to the 2018\u0000extremely long dry period. However, despite this being a major concern to\u0000homeowners and public authorities, an integrated and systematic risk\u0000assessment on regional or national scale is currently lacking which inhibits\u0000concrete and meaningful action. In this paper, we propose a methodology for\u0000the systematic regional or countrywide assessment of two subsidence-related\u0000damage mechanisms to buildings: differential settlement of buildings on\u0000shallow foundation, and timber pile degradation due to low groundwater\u0000levels. The methodology is set up in a modular, systematic way – initially\u0000based on expert judgement and validation with available local detailed\u0000information and allows for future improvements. Progress in individual\u0000contributing factors to damages can be seamlessly integrated for the\u0000systematic improvement of damage estimates. This approach can be replicated\u0000for other damage mechanisms and detailed to provide a more local risk\u0000assessment.

The analysis of the vertical movements of the soil in the\u0000Po River plane of the Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) was updated through an\u0000interferometric analysis referred to the 2011–2016 time-span. This activity\u0000is a continuation of previous studies on the state of knowledge of vertical\u0000soil movements in the same area, analyzed firstly by levelling and GNSS and\u0000more recently by SAR interferometry for the periods 1992–2000, 2002–2006,\u00002006–2011, on behalf of the Emilia-Romagna Region. The survey area analysed\u0000was approximately 13 300 km2, which corresponds to the territory\u0000of the regional plain. The interferometric dataset was calibrated through\u0000the use of velocity time series of several permanent GNSS stations. Among\u0000the 36 stations analysed, 22 were included in the study area: 16 were used\u0000for the calibration and 6 as check points). The velocities required for the\u0000calibration of the SAR analysis were calculated in the period following the\u0000important seismic events that struck the territory of the Emilia Romagna\u0000Region in May 2012. The interferometric analysis was carried out by TRE\u0000ALTAMIRA using the SqueeSAR™ technology. In particular, in\u0000order to update the interferometric dataset to 2016, it was necessary to\u0000perform a joint processing of the available RADARSAT-1 data and of the data\u0000acquired by the RADARSAT-2 satellite using a specific operating mode of the\u0000SqueeSAR™ algorithm known as stitching; this approach allowed\u0000the joint processing of images acquired in the same geometry by these two\u0000satellites. The study of the time series of the GNSS permanent stations used\u0000to provide the velocity datum to the interferometric analysis, is described,\u0000and the results of the SqueeSAR™ interferometric processing are\u0000reported.

Though global awareness of land subsidence has increased\u0000over recent years, subsidence remains an ongoing and largely unsolved\u0000problem, which is exemplified by frequent discoveries of apparently new\u0000subsiding areas.

This paper presents a comprehensive,\u0000step-by-step approach to address land subsidence, illustrated by best\u0000practise examples from around the world. The approach places emphasis on the\u0000long-term sustainability of resources, whose development is related to the\u0000subsidence problems.
