Domain-specific¶
- Subsidence
- Delta subsidence combines natural sediment compaction — unconsolidated muds deposited rapidly lose water and consolidate under their own weight — with fluid extraction and loss of sediment resupply from dammed rivers; the Mississippi, Mekong, and Ganges-Brahmaputra deltas are sinking at rates that in some districts outpace eustatic sea-level rise by an order of magnitude.
This sourceThe mechanism of delta subsidence from sediment compaction due to removal of oil, gas and water, trapping of sediment in upstream reservoirs and floodplain engineering, together with rising global sea level.

“The vulnerability is a result of sediment compaction from the removal of oil, gas and water from the delta's underlying sediments, the trapping of sediment in reservoirs upstream and floodplain engineering in combination with rising global sea level.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
