It's steadily sinking or #subsiding, which is destabilizing levees, roads, and airports. The #US #AtlanticCoast is dropping by several millimeters annually, with some areas, like #Delaware, notching figures several times that rate. So just as #sealevelrise increases, the land along the eastern #seaboard is sinking, greatly compounding the hazard for #coastal communities. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/01/east-coast-ground-continues-to-collapse-at-a-worrying-rate/
