☆ Underground climate change: How heat is trapped under the surface, threatening buildings
  + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Maura Barrett | Lucas Thompson | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
"There's already a significant amount of heat beneath our feet," Rotta Loria said. The research, published in July in the journal Nature, detailed how heat trapped under the surface is causing a phenomenon called "underground climate change" and could cause major cities including Chicago, New York and London to "sink." This underground climate change is different from the climate change in the atmosphere, which comes from greenhouse gasses caused by burning fossil fuels. As the heat spreads, the ground also deforms, which can cause city structures and infrastructure to crack. While researchers have worried about the potential of cities to sink due to heavy building loads, spreading heat like this can cause similar displacements.

☆ ‘Underground climate change’ is deforming the ground beneath buildings, study finds
  + stars: | 2023-07-17 | by ( Jacopo Prisco | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
CNN —A phenomenon that scientists have called “underground climate change” is deforming the ground beneath cities, a study conducted in Chicago has found. Technically known as “subsurface heat islands,” underground climate change is the warming of the ground under our feet, caused by heat released by buildings and subterranean transportation such as subway systems. “Deformations caused by underground climate change are relatively small in magnitude, but they continuously develop,” he said. “Calling it climate change seems like a bit of a coattail thing,” Archer, who was not involved with the study, said. The term “underground climate change,” however, was not coined for this study — it has been in use, and the phenomenon a subject of research, for some time.
