Miami, Florida, a coastal city known for its luxurious ___style and vibrant culture, has been experiencing a phenomenon of rising concerns, as a recent study published in Earth and Space Science reveals that numerous high-rise buildings along the city's barrier islands are sinking at an alarming rate. The research, conducted by a team of scientists from the University of Miami, Florida Atlantic University, University of Houston, University of Hanover in Germany, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, and California Institute of Technology, has highlighted the gravity of the issue.
The study found that over 35 luxury condos and hotels in Sunny Isles Beach, Surfside, Miami Beach, and Bal Harbour have experienced subsidence, with settlement ranging from 2-8 centimeters over a multi-year period spanning 2016 to 2023. According to the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School... high-rises typically undergo settlement during and immediately after construction, with some projects experiencing tens of centimeters of subsidence in a short period.
However, in some cases, subsidence has been observed to persist at a steady rate, suggesting that the issue may have a longer-term impact. The discovery has sparked concerns among residents, business owners, and policymakers... with some calling for greater awareness and regulation to mitigate the effects of subsidence.
Fox Business has reported that experts are advising building owners and developers to closely monitor the situation and take proactive measures to prevent further damage. As Miami continues to grow and develop, "the city's infrastructure must also adapt to the challenges posed by subsidence." Efforts to understand and address this issue will be crucial in ensuring the long-term stability and longevity of its iconic high-rise buildings, "which have become a hallmark of Miami's luxury ___style."
