Book Description
LAND SUBSIDENCE: CASE STUDIES AND CURRENT RESEARCH edited by James W. Borchers. Land Subsidence is a worldwide problem. Under the auspices of the Association of Engineering Geologists, carefully selected experts contributed papers to this comprehensive compendium The contributors, from the United State & 10 other countries include practitioners, researchers, planners & attorneys -- experts that you can depend upon. Current & historically significant research: Innovative theory & monitoring equipment. Case histories describing site exploration & evaluation. Predictive modeling. Damage to infrastructure. Engineering of remedial construction. Topics include: Migration or removal of subsurface fluid such as brine, salt water, hydrocarbons. Hydrocompaction of moisture deficient sediments: debris flow deposits, artificial fill. Oxidation of peat deposits. Collapse of underground ad solution mine voids. Tunneling. Karst terrain. Going beyond engineering geology & hydrology, this timely resource includes insight into political & legal issues. Offers an understanding of the public policy decision making processes related to land subsidence. Property rights & land use. Regulatory issues. Topics critical to consulting engineers, planners, developers, attorneys & geologists. Hardcover. 8 1/2 by 11 inches. Extensive illustrations! 576 pages.

Book Description
This 116-page report presents the results of an investigation by the Utah Geological Survey of land subsidence and earth fissures in Cedar Valley, Iron County, Utah. Basin-fill sediments of the Cedar Valley Aquifer contain a high percentage of fine-grained material susceptible to compaction upon dewatering. Groundwater discharge in excess of recharge (groundwater mining) has lowered the potentiometric surface in Cedar Valley as much as 114 feet since 1939. Groundwater mining has caused permanent compaction of fine-grained sediments of the Cedar Valley aquifer, which has caused the land surface to subside, and a minimum of 8.3 miles of earth fissures to form. Recently acquired interferometric synthetic aperture radar imagery shows that land subsidence has affected approximately 100 mi² in Cedar Valley, but a lack of accurate historical benchmark elevation data over much of the valley prevents its detailed quantification. Continued groundwater mining and resultant subsidence will likely cause existing fissures to lengthen and new fissures to form which may eventually impact developed areas in Cedar Valley. This report also includes possible aquifer management options to help mitigate subsidence and fissure formation, and recommended guidelines for conducting subsidence-related hazard investigations prior to development.
