Study Finds Miami Skyscrapers Are Sinking

A University of Miami-led study using satellite radar found dozens of Miami high-rises, including some under construction, are subsiding by millimetres a year.

Researchers from the University of Miami, University of Houston and Germany's GFZ used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) satellite data to detect the movement.
Miami has gone from no skyscrapers in the mid-1980s to America's third-tallest skyline, with at least a dozen towers under construction including its first supertall.
The findings were published in the journal Earth and Space Science at the end of 2024, led by senior author Professor Falk Amelung.

Wikipedia's general Subsidence article, fetched directly, does not mention the University of Miami study or Miami skyscrapers at all - a tangential, general-background reference only, consistent with its comparatively low 60 confidence score.

Miami's rapid growth comes at a price: new study reveals sinking buildings – GFZ
gfz.de· Published Jan 8, 2025· 6% of score
GFZ could not be fetched due to a network restriction, but its headline, "Miami's rapid growth comes at a price: new study reveals sinking buildings", and 8 January 2025 publish date - shortly after the pin's stored 15 December 2024 date - corroborate the study the pin describes.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
