The global sediment cycle is a fundamental feature of the Earth system, balancing
competing factors such as orogeny, physical–chemical erosion and human action. In this …

Coastal wetlands, such as saltmarshes and mangroves that fringe transitional waters,
deliver important ecosystem services that support human development. Coastal wetlands …

River deltas rank among the most economically and ecologically valuable environments on
Earth. Even in the absence of sea-level rise, deltas are increasingly vulnerable to coastal …

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 …

Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing
coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low …

Abstract Asian Mega deltas (AMDs) are among the world´ s most important rice‐growing
areas and vital for food security. This review describes the major environmental and …

Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

The principal nature-based solution for offsetting relative sea-level rise in the Ganges-
Brahmaputra delta is the unabated delivery, dispersal, and deposition of the rivers'~ 1 billion …
