New NASA research takes a closer look at why parts of New York City are sinking, offering a polite fact check to another study that went viral earlier this year.
released last Wednesday by a NASA-led research team used high-resolution satellite images to analyze the ground elevation of the approximately 300 square miles of New York City. This research was ostensibly following upin May that hypothesized the city’s drop in land elevation — known as subsidence — was due in part to heavy concrete buildings pushing down on the Earth.
“Much like a mattress, if you push down, you get a sort of depression underneath the mattress and then a bulge on the edge,”, the study’s co-author and the co-director of the Rutgers University Office of Climate Action. “Those [bulges] come up as you lift yourself [off the mattress].” Not everything in the Big Apple is sinking though. Some parts are rising, including the areas of Newtown Creek, East Williamsburg and Woodside.“This is not something we've seen in other studies,” Buzzanga added.
