New York City is Sinking!

PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

Today, Jesse and Chris discuss a headline that's been making a splash lately.  There was a paper recently published that looked into why some areas of New York City appear to be sinking.  We took this as an opportunity to discuss an important geologic concept - Isostasy or Isostic Adjustment.  Our conversation spanned glaciers, mountains, and cities.  We hope you enjoy.  Below is a link to the published paper.  I've also included a link to one of the articles written about the published paper.
