Researchers at NASA 's Jet Propulsion Laboratory studied satellite radar data to capture vertical movement of land across more than one thousand miles ( 1,610 kilometers ) of California coast.
Comparing that data with historical observations of the same locations, the team found land was subsiding and rising at levels much higher than regional estimates.
The San Francisco Bay Area is subsiding at a rate of more than 0.4 inches ( 10 millimeters) per year, in large part due to sediment compaction.
