How consistent are adaptation strategies with ongoing climatic and environmental changes in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta: A systematic review
Mapping the solution space for local adaptation under global change: A test of concept for the Vietnamese Mekong delta
Physical and societal systems limit adaptation options to environmental changes. • Our new method quantifies adaptation limits through mapping solution spaces. • Method supports exploring adaptation pathways under physical and societal change. • We assess adaptation feasibility, effectiveness, limitations and opportunities. • We illustrate this for Vietnamese Mekong Delta coastal flood adaptation options. Current and projected environmental chang…
Evaluating flood hazards in data-sparse coastal lowlands: Highlighting the Ayeyarwady Delta (Myanmar)
Coastal lowlands and river deltas worldwide are increasingly exposed to coastal, pluvial and fluvial flooding as well as relative sea-level rise (RSLR). However, information about both single and multiple flood-type hazards, their potential impact and the characteristics of areas, population and assets at risk is often still limited as high-quality data either does not exist or is not accessible. This often constitutes a main barrier for generati…
Delta sustainability from the Holocene to the Anthropocene and envisioning the future
Anthropogenic activities in the páramo trigger ecological shifts in Tropical Andean lakes
A robust understanding of the impact of anthropogenic activities on high-altitude tropical aquatic ecosystems is key for the conservation and protection of the Tropical Andean biodiversity hot spot. We present the results of a multiproxy study of lake sediments from the high Andean páramo of El Cajas National Park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve in Ecuador. The main site, Laguna Pallcacocha, is well known for recording El Niño–driven clastic flood la…
Sedimentation-enhancing strategies for sustainable deltas: An integrated socio-biophysical framework
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…
Data, knowledge, and modeling challenges for science-informed management of river deltas
Global change scenarios in coastal river deltas and their sustainable development implications
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…
Impacts of 25 years of groundwater extraction on subsidence in the Mekong delta, Vietnam
Many major river deltas in the world are subsiding and consequently become increasingly vulnerable to flooding and storm surges, salinization and permanent inundation. For the Mekong Delta, annual subsidence rates up to several centimetres have been reported. Excessive groundwater extraction is suggested as the main driver. As groundwater levels drop, subsidence is induced through aquifer compaction. Over the past 25 years, groundwater exploitati…
