Earth and recording the waves bouncing back. The
scientists calculated the height of the ground with
millimetre accuracy by monitoring the timing and
intensity of those reflected waves. With each satellite
passing over the same area of the planet every twelve
days, the researchers were able to track how the land
changed over time. The highest subsidence rates—up
to five centimetres per year—were discovered in Asian
places such as Tianjin, China; Karachi, Pakistan; and
Manila, Philippines. One-third of the cities studied were
found to be sinking more than a millimetre a year in some
areas around the globe, which is terrible news.
