Abstract
Analysis of borehole data together with two centuries of documentation has allowed the assessment of subsidence evolution in the area of the Pontina Plain, where peats extend to up to 60 m in thickness. This paper discusses the two phenomena (self-weight consolidation and reclamation activities) which have led to ground subsidence of almost 6 m over a period of 200 years.
