Delta Subsidence Vlog 2

Today we are visiting the land subsidence monitoring Supersite in the Mississippi delta, United States with a team of researchers from Tulane University in New Orleans and University of California in San Diego.

The supersite got hit by hurrican Ida half a year back and today is the first visit to assess the damage. Unfortunately, it will take quite some efforts and money to build back the entire site, as everything which was at the surface has been damaged, but the subsurface infrastructure seemed largely still intact. Hopefully it will be up and running soon again.
