Vertical surface displacement time series in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta derived from Advanced Sentinel-1 Persistent Scatterer Interferometry

Referencing to these bridges results in the fact that only subsidence originating from soil layers above their foundation depth of the used bridges could be measured in large parts of the study area. However, we discussed in Dörr et al. (2024, accepted for publication) that the largest part of the total subsidence originates from shallower layers. The provided dataset can make a crucial contribution to in-depth studies of the causes and future projections of land subsidence in the Mekong Delta.

They can, for example, serve as input for hydro-geological modeling, or can be examined with regard to correlations with environmental and anthropogenic parameters, such as groundwater extraction rates, land cover and land use, as well as climatological data.
