SINGAPORE - To further measure the extent of land sinking in Singapore, the Earth Observatory of Singapore at Nanyang Technological University is harnessing the use of satellite technology to improve the accuracy of data on land height and sea levels.
The four are global navigation satellite system stations. GNSS is a collective term for various satellite navigation systems, including the widely recognised Global Positioning System. Direct signals beamed straight from satellites to reference stations will furnish data on changes in land height, which is the height above mean sea level.
Under a four-year collaboration that is expected to contribute to the Singapore National Sea Level Programme , nine existing reference stations set up by SLA across the island would help to provide more data. In 2022, EOS published a study with findings that land sinking is happening faster in many coastal cities in South-east Asia than anywhere else in the world. Land subsidence, Dr Peng said, can be caused by tectonics, earthquakes, land reclamation and extraction of underground resources such as water, oil and gas.
