Offer Description
Delta subsidence is the result of a complex interplay of natural and human-induced (anthropogenic) drivers and processes in the subsurface. Subsidence processes strongly depend on local geology, hydrology, and water management and especially human-induced subsidence can be highly variable in both time and space. In most deltas current subsidence is predominantly caused by two processes acting at different depths: a) compaction of shallow sediments, driven by physical loading by the sediments themselves or drainage, and b) aquifer-system compaction, driven by groundwater extraction. Process interactions between different depth domains may have significant impact on the total amount and the spatial-temporal distribution of subsidence in a delta. The research is aimed to develop a novel dual-model approach of two complementary, state-of-the-art numerical model codes: NATSUB3D simulating autocompaction and iMOD-SUBCR simulating aquifer system compaction due to groundwater pumping.
