Summary Land subsidence has been caused by man's activities in at least 37 of the 50 states of the United States and affects more than 40,000 square kilometres in this country alone. Data from a few sites where economic impact is documented suggest a total annual cost to the nation of more than $100 million; worldwide, the total economic impact is astounding and growing. These nine papers constitute a major contribution to measuring and understanding this problem and are arranged in 3 categories: fluid withdrawal from porous media; drainage of organic soil; and collapse into man-made and natural cavities.
