The document summarizes a presentation given by Carlo Esposito at the NHAZCA OPEN DAY event in Rome on January 31, 2013. The presentation discussed land subsidence in urban areas, investigating and monitoring causes to address remediation. It described land subsidence affecting Rome from human-induced stress factors in a susceptible environment, including travertine quarries and thermal springs. Subsidence maps from 1992-2001 and 2003-2010 were shown. Emergency remediation and investigating contributory causes at the basin scale were also discussed.
