EARTH OBSERVATION Satellite radar maps reveal rapid delta land loss Paris, France (SPX) Feb 18, 2026 Earths river deltas, home to about 5 percent of the global population and some of the worlds major cities, are sinking as land subsides faster than the sea is rising in many locations. New satellite radar observations from the Copernicus Sentinel 1 mission reveal that subsidence is a major and often dominant driver of relative sea level rise in these low lying regions. Ten of the worlds 34 biggest cities are built on river deltas, making these environments critical hubs for people, infrastructure, ... read more
