In an era where urbanization and water demand continue to rise, the concealed threat of ground subsidence poses unprecedented challenges for cities worldwide. Sinking Cities: A Comprehensive InSAR Approach to Ground Subsidence delves into the heart of this phenomenon, exploring the interplay between water extraction, hydrogeology, and land sinking. With an unwavering focus on the transformative capabilities of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology, this book unravels the complexities of subsidence, from its mechanisms to its tangible impact on urban infrastructure, ecosystems, and public well-being. Drawing on real-world case studies and cutting-edge research, this comprehensive guide equips readers with the tools needed to predict, mitigate, and adapt to the challenges of subsidence in a rapidly changing world. Whether you are a student of hydrogeology, geophysics, or urban planning, researcher, or concerned citizen, this book offers a vital roadmap for fostering urban resilience in the face of a hidden, yet undeniable, threat.

Gökhan ASLAN is a researcher in the Section of Geohazard and Earth Observation at the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) in Trondheim. Previously, he held a postdoctoral position at the French Geological Survey (BRGM) as a Radar Remote Sensing Researcher, with a primary focus on landslide monitoring and the influence of water extraction and mining activities on urban ground subsidence. Having earned his PhD in Solid Earth Sciences from Istanbul Technical University and Grenoble Alpes University, Gökhan's doctoral thesis centered on the innovative application of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) for detecting aseismic slip movements and land subsidence.

His research is an interdisciplinary blend of hydrogeology, geophysics, and geodesy and he is most interested in using space-based and ground-based observations of Earths surface deformation to understand the material properties and processes that control the deformation triggering mechanism. Presently, Gökhan is actively engaged in a multitude of projects, including the monitoring of mega landslides in diverse terrains like the Tibetan, Ustyurt, and Andean Plateaus. Additionally, he delves into the dynamic behavior of aquifer systems, exploring their potential implications on structures due to the global challenge of sinking phenomena.
