Subsidence in Denmark

This map shows Thyborøn in Jutland, Denmark, where each coloured square is a measurement of the ground deformation. Green is stable, warmer colours indicate subsidence, and colder colours show uplift. A trend from stable in the west to subsidence in the east can be seen. This causes problems for wastewater pipes in the area. There is also a high rate of subsidence around the harbour. Sentinel-1A images from March 2015 to March 2016 were used to generate this map.
