“…Note that the sediment-accretion rate, which has sometimes been invoked as a term in the RSL equation 10 , merely affects local water depth, not RSL. VLM is driven by natural processes, such as glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) [11][12][13] , tectonics and earthquakes 14,15 , and sediment consolidation, including natural compaction owing to sediment deposition (loading) [16][17][18][19] , as well as anthropogenic effects caused by peat oxidation following drainage [20][21][22][23][24] and the compaction of aquifer systems and hydrocarbon reservoirs accompanying the extraction of subsurface fluids 20,25,26 (fig. 1).…”

“…Recently formed peat has a very loose structure, high void ratio and consequently high compressibility (van Asselen & Roosendaal, ; Hobbs, ; Koster, Lange, Harting, Heer, & Middelkoop, ; Lefebvre, Langlois, Lupien, & Lavallee, ; Price & Schlotzhauer, ). On the other hand, peats covered by several metres‐thick sediment packages are subject to post‐burial consolidation, through expulsion of pore water and rearrangement of their internal sedimentary structure (van Asselen et al, ). Organic matter content, plant species composition, water table position and thickness of the overlying sediment column appear to be the main factors controlling the amount of peat compaction (van Asselen, Stouthamer, & Smith, ).…”

“…Organic matter content, plant species composition, water table position and thickness of the overlying sediment column appear to be the main factors controlling the amount of peat compaction (van Asselen, Stouthamer, & Smith, ). High compressibility of peat layers has been often called into question as one of the main drivers of delta plains subsidence and evolution (van Asselen, ; van Asselen et al, ; Drexler, Fontaine, & Deverel, ; Erkens, Meulen, & Middelkoop, ; Törnqvist et al, ).…”

“…Subsidence models are generally based on field and laboratory measurements (e.g., Schothorst, 1982;Van Asselen et al, 2018), sometimes incorporating a physical basis to describe the underlying subsidence processes (e.g., Gambolati et al, 2006;Koster, Stafleu, & Stouthamer, 2018;Van der Meulen et al, 2007). However, model outcomes are critically dependent on model parameters, soil parameters, and the drivers that cause the subsidence.…”
