Sand-mining-driven reduction in Tonle Sap Lake’s critical flood pulse
The Tonle Sap Lake (TSL), one of the world’s most productive lake–wetland ecosystems is sustained by an annual flood pulse that reverses Lower Mekong River flow into the lake during the monsoon and returns freshwater downstream during the dry season. Recent declines in the reverse flow have previously been attributed to climate change and upstream damming. However, here we show that between 1998 and 2018, riverbed lowering of the Mekong mainstem,…
Exploring how sand infill is transforming Phnom Penh’s Tompun-Cheung Ek wetland
We examine the loss of wetland spaces for city expansion. • Profound societal and ecological inequalities emerge in places of sand infill. • Urban farmers struggle to grow their aquatic crops; many are no longer grown. • Youth have turned to garbage picking. • Significant ecosystem services are lost with sand infill. This paper focuses on the social-ecological consequences that have emerged as sand infill has transformed Phnom Penh’s Tompun-Cheun…
Place-based and intergenerational storytelling for youth climate action
The urgency of the climate crisis necessitates inclusive approaches that engage marginalised groups, particularly youth, in meaningful and sustained ways. This paper explores the transformative potential of place-based and intergenerational storytelling for fostering youth climate action, drawing on insights from a British Academy-funded project in Vietnam. Building on Lundy’s Model of Participation, we integrate “momentum” as a critical extensio…
Migrating sands
Over 55,000 km of the world’s interior political border is formed along river channels. Yet it is more than just water that is conveyed downstream and across these borders by river systems, with sediment, pollutants, nutrients also transported, impacting downstream ecosystem service provision and livelihoods. Fundamentally, water and sediment operate in two distinct cycles, the behaviours of which have major implications for their management. The…
Act of hope
This case study explores a collaboration between young people, researchers and artists which captured stories of how people in the Red River Catchment of Northern Vietnam are responding to climate change, and then used the local art of water puppetry to communicate those stories to a wider audience. The performance evoked the interdependence of the human and physical worlds, showing the impacts of climate change but also people’s adaptiveness. In…
Local people want to keep their sand”
The Red River Delta is Vietnam's most densely populated catchment, with its communities intertwined with, and dependent upon, the delta and its resources. Intensive, widespread riverine sand extraction is linked to substantial degradation of the delta, directly threatening these livelihoods. The response of rural communities is to resist in various ways, dependent upon a complex matrix of geospatial factors. Using an ethnographic approach, we exp…
Social differences in spatial perspectives about local benefits from rehabilitated mangroves
Change in mangrove extent and condition has potential consequences for social disparity in terms of who can adapt to change in ecosystem services and places perceived important for providing them. Participatory GIS can elicit spatial variation in the importance attached to ecosystem service places, but disaggregated research that can reveal difference over the small spatial extents often covered by mangroves is underdeveloped. Using mixed-methods…
Sand, gravel, and UN Sustainable Development Goals
Tropical Asian mega‐delta ponds
This paper uses multimedia to showcase the narratives and lived experiences of those who live and work in tropical Asian mega‐deltas, and as such is the first journal article of its kind in the field of Regional Geography. Using videos, photography and audio this paper describes the characteristics of ponds and their place in the intrinsically connected human‐environmental fabric of these delta regions. The aim is to bring to life descriptive inv…
