Yes... we already knew this. But, new studies show that New Orleans in sinking due more to tectonic activity then any other cause, human related or otherwise. The results from the study are being criticised as being a too sweeping conclusion drawn based on a relatively small data set. The data set was taken from 50 years of surveyance from the Michoud region, an area with no oil drilling, water drilling or compactation of sediments. Yet, there is still sinking land mass in this region.
