Miami researchers found that 35 buildings along the coasts of Miami 's barrier islands have sunk into the ground by 2 to 8 centimeters between 2016 and 2023 .

Sinking coastal cities are extra vulnerable because the seas are rising to meet them, doubling the flood risk.

Knowing if and how buildings are sinking could help prevent future damage.
