In Japan, groundwater management over the years has proved successful at stabilizing subsidence in Tokyo and Osaka.

在日本，多年来地下水管理已证明成功地稳定了东京和大阪沉降。

It's a combination boost of changes in ocean circulation, land ice dynamic and land subsidence caused by human activity.

这是人类活动引起海洋环流、陆冰动力和地面沉降变化综合结果。

Some places are even combating subsidence by injecting water into depleted aquifers in a process called managed recharge.

一些地方甚至通过向枯竭含水层注水来防治沉降，这被称为“管理补给”。

On top of that, land subsidence had made matters worse.

最重要是，地面下沉使事情变。

So Bangkok land subsidence is about maybe one to two centimetres per year.

因此，曼谷土地沉降大约每年可能达到一到两厘米。

Because we have the subsidence also.

因为我们也有地面沉降问题。

Land subsidence has been aggravated by over-pumping of underground water and the construction of thousands of high-rise buildings.

过度抽取地下水和建造数以千计高层建筑加剧了地面沉降。

The Englishman collected and studied numerous marine organisms during this famous voyage, which eventually led to his subsidence theory of coral reef formation.

在这次著名中，这位英国人采集并研究了众多海洋生物，这最终促使他提出了关于珊瑚礁形成下沉学说。

As we know, the foundation beneath the building is quite deep, ranging from 20-30 meters, its subsidence rate is much lower than the ground.

我们知道，楼房底部地基比较深，有20或30米，楼房下沉速度比地面慢很多。

The researchers also combined their subsidence measurements with projections of sea level rise to figure out which cities might end up below sea level.

研究人员还将沉降测量结果与海平面上升预测相结合，以确定哪些城市最终可能低于海平面。

The ground beneath the church has a history of subsidence which has caused instability in the  cathedral structure over the centuries.

教堂下面地面有下沉历史，几个世纪以来导致大教堂结构不稳定。

So, naturally, their first calendar was divided up into three seasons, each based on the river ’s changes: inundation, subsidence and harvest.

因此，很自然地，他们第一个日历被分为三个季节，每个季节都基于河流变化：洪水、沉降和收获。

This has decreased ten fold and a new analysis based on Japanese satellite observations of ground subsidence suggest a further ten fold decrease can by expected by 2017.

目前污泥渗出量已经减少了10倍，根据日本地表下沉卫星监控进行分析，预期在2017年污泥渗出量将再减少10倍。

One caveat with these findings is that they assumed a constant rate of subsidence over the next 100 years, but these rates can change along with human activity.

这些发现中需要注意一点是，他们假设未来100年下沉速度是恒定，但这些速度可能会随着人类活动而改变。

I am convinced that nearly all our ancient formations, which are throughout the greater part of their thickness rich in fossils, have thus been formed during subsidence.

我相信几乎所有我们古老地层， 它们大部分厚度都富含化石， 都是在下沉过程中形成。

But this same movement of subsidence will tend to submerge the area whence the sediment is derived, and thus diminish the supply, whilst the downward movement continues.

但同样下沉运动将倾向于淹没沉积物来源区域，从而减少供应， 同时继续向下运动。

But now every sound ceased suddenly, with the subsidence of Mr. Walters' voice, and the conclusion of the speech was received with a burst of silent gratitude.

但是现在所有声音都突然停止了，随着沃尔特斯先生声音消退，演讲结束引起了一阵沉默感激之情。

It does not have a proportional delta owing to its strong north… the north-flowing sea close to shore and the shelving of the coast and slow tectonic subsidence.

由于其强劲北向洋流、近岸北流海域、海岸倾斜以及缓慢地壳沉降，这里并不存在比例均衡三角洲。

Researchers at the United States Geological Survey and the University of Rhode Island calculated the weight of all the city's buildings and found that it is contributing to what they call subsidence.

美国地质调查局和罗德岛大学研究人员计算了该市所有建筑重量，发现这导致了他们所说沉降。

Add the average sea level rise of three to four millimeters per year to New York subsidence of one to two millimeters per year and you start to get a serious problem.

再加上海平面平均每年上升 3 到 4 毫米，纽约每年下沉 1 到 2 毫米，问题就严重了。
