    This document summarizes rates of subsidence from various sources that are contributing to sea level rise in a coastal area from 1720 to 2050. It shows that deep compaction of sediments has contributed 2.0 mm/year of subsidence, tectonic subsidence has added 0.4 mm/year, and organic soil compaction before 1950 added nothing but after 1950 added 15.0 mm/year. Sea level rise was 2.0 mm/year before 1980 but increased to 5.0 mm/year after 1980. The total subsidence increases over time from 0 meters in 1720 to an estimated 3.2 meters in 2050.
