  • Sedimentation-enhancing strategies for sustainable deltas

    Open AccessFrances E Dunn, Jana Cox et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2023

    Coastal river deltas, home to hundreds of millions of people due to their abundant natural resources, face intense internal and external pressure from human activities, which threaten to degrade essential systems vital to delta functioning. A key biophysical challenge for deltas is relative sea level rise, which enhances salinity intrusion, flooding, and land loss. Although sedimentation-enhancing strategies (SESs) that use natural delta processe…

  • Global change scenarios in coastal river deltas and their sustainable development implications

    Open AccessMurray Scown, Frances E Dunn et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2023Cited by: 4References: 6

    Deltas play a critical role in the ambition to achieve global sustainable development given their relatively large shares in population and productive croplands, as well as their precarious low-lying position between upstream river basin development and rising seas. The large pressures on these systems risk undermining the persistence of delta societies, economies, and ecosystems. We analyse possible future development in 49 deltas around the glo…

  • Transient scenarios for robust climate change adaptation illustrated for water management in The Netherlands

    Open AccessMarjolijn Haasnoot, Jaap Schellekens et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015

    Climate scenarios are used to explore impacts of possible future climates and to assess the robustness of adaptation actions across a range of futures. Time-dependent climate scenarios are commonly used in mitigation studies. However, despite the dynamic nature of adaptation, most scenarios for local or regional decision making on climate adaptation are static ‘endpoint’ projections. This paper describes the development and use of transient (time…

  • A history of futures

    Open AccessMarjolijn Haasnoot, H MiddelkoopARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2012

    The future of human life in the world's river deltas depends on the success of water management. To deal with uncertainties about the future, policymakers in the Netherlands have used scenarios to develop water management strategies for the coastal zone of the Rhine-Meuse delta. In this paper we reflect on six decades of scenario use in the Netherlands, and provide recommendations for future studies. Based on two criteria, 'Decision robustness' a…

  • A method to develop sustainable water management strategies for an uncertain future

    Open AccessMarjolijn Haasnoot, H Middelkoop et al.ARTICLESustainable Development2009Cited by: 20References: 2

    Development of sustainable water management strategies involves identification of vulnerability and adaptation possibilities, followed by an effect analysis of these adaptation strategies under different possible futures. Recent scenario studies on water management were mainly ‘what‐if’ assessments in one or two future situations. The future is, however, more complex and dynamic. It involves general trends and unexpected events in both the water …
