US-Indian space mission maps extreme subsidence in Mexico City | Hacker News

A US-Indian satellite mission used NISAR data to map severe ground subsidence across Mexico City and nearby areas.

Some parts of the city are sinking by several centimeters per month, revealing the fastest-moving hotspots.

The mapping can help identify where roads, water lines, and other infrastructure face the greatest risk.

The Angel of Independence was noted as having a reinforced foundation and is not sinking like surrounding roads.
