Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the
effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level …

Abstract The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and Mississippi River Delta (MRD) are two of the
largest deltas in the world. Despite similar forcing conditions of fluvial sediment reduction …

The Mekong delta is experiencing rapid environmental change due to anthropogenic
activities causing accelerated subsidence, sea-level rise and sediment starvation …

Deltas are threatened by erosion due to climate change and reduced sediment supply, but
their response to these changes remains poorly quantified. We investigate the abandoned …

Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding and
reliance on flood defenses for cities built on deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis …

Deltas and estuaries worldwide face the challenge of capturing sufficient sediment to keep
up with relative sea‐level rise. Knowledge about sediment pathways and fluxes is crucial to …

At a global scale, intertidal areas are being reclaimed for agriculture as well as urban
expansion, imposing high human pressure on the coastal zone. The Ganges-Brahmaputra …

Globally, mineral sediment supply to deltaic wetlands has generally decreased so these
wetlands increasingly rely on accretion of organic matter to keep pace with relative sea …

Over the past decades coastal marshes around the world have declined dramatically. Their
deterioration is controlled by scarcity of sediments, erosion and accelerated rise of relative …

Arising from the non‐uniform dispersal of sediment and water that build deltaic landscapes,
morphological change is a fundamental characteristic of river delta behavior. Thus …
