INTRODUCTION
Location of the Venice Lagoon
VENICE
Contributions to the RLS (relative land subsidence) at Venice
Consequences of RLS at Venice
PRESENT LAND SUBSICENCEOF VENICE
Average displacement rates (mm/yr) obtained by Persistent Scatterer Interferometry at Venice
ERS 1992-2002:0.8 0.7 mm/yr
ENV 2003-2010:1.0 0.7 mm/yr
TSX 2008:1.0 1.6 mm/yr
CSK 2008-2011:1.1 1.0 mm/yr

OBSERVED MOVEMENTS:WHICH THE CAUSES?
Architecture of the shallow subsoil of Venice along the alignment A–D1 : the heterogeneous nature
of the Venice subsoil
2 : the city growth over the century
Growth in area of Venice from 900 A.D. to present
OBSERVED MOVEMENTS:WHICH THE CAUSES?
Average displacement rates (mm/yr) obtained by PSI at a
portion of the city NE of St. Mark’s Basilica where
restoration works were carried out in 2008
3 : restoration works (e.g., building restoration, canal dredging, etc.)
4 : waves induced by the intensive boat and ship traffic
