Join us for an illuminating conversation with Professor Falk Amelung, a leading geophysicist from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science. Professor Amelung will discuss his recent controversial study revealing that 35 high-rise buildings along Miami's coastline are experiencing subsidence, sinking between 2 to 8 centimeters from 2016 to 2023.

The discussion will delve into the causes of this phenomenon, including the shifting of sand grains in the subsurface, construction vibrations, and tidal influences. Professor Amelung will also address the potential long-term implications for these structures and the importance of ongoing monitoring to ensure their safety.
