Correlating severe land subsidence and confined brine aquifer compaction in the Yellow River Delta, China, with Sentinel-1A/1B satellite images
In recent years, noticeable subsidence depressions have occurred along the coastal zone of the Yellow River Delta. In some coastal areas, the average annual subsidence varies from tens of millimeters to hundreds of millimeters. Although some studies have discovered a significant land subsidence funnel in the coastal zone of the Yellow River Delta, it has rarely been reported in recent years. Using Sentinel-1A/1B images from the last five years and permanent scatterers interferometric synthetic aperture radar technology, we found a typical subsidence bowl in the northeastern part of the delta, with a cumulative settlement of nearly 1 m over five years. In addition, we used the approach of soil mechanics to simulate the settlement of confined brine layers with different thicknesses under drainage conditions. We found that the 15 m thick confined aquifer can produce 1 m of settlement for every 15% decrease in water content. The simulation results explain the large settlement of the brine industrial area. This study can provide guidance for brine mining in the future. If we continue to overexploit underground brine, there will be more severe land subsidence in the delta in the future.
