Net subsidence of most major deltas in the world and related vulnerability are thought to be increasing, and this is often linked causally to human activities. This paper examines this causality against a range of co-varying factors. We do so with a principal component analysis of co-...

Population density, urban fraction, and total and irrigated cropland fraction are three to twelve times greater in these deltas, on average, than in the rest of the world. Maximum river water discharges are projected to increase by 11–33% and river sediment discharges are projected to ...
The fragility of the world’s deltas is not solely a consequence of rising ocean waters. Human fresh water use is a predominant force behind receding coastlines. 展开全部 机器翻译 被引用(120) 发布时间·被引用数·默认排序 Spatio-temporal variation of water flow and sediment discharge in the Ma...
Deltas are naturally dynamic coastal systems that are unique in their close links to both land-based fluvial and coastal ocean processes. They hold ecological and economic value throughout the world and are major centers of population and agriculture (Pont et al., 2002). In the presence of ad...
The world's river deltas take up less than 0.5 percent of the global land area, but they are home to hundreds of millions of people. Many live in major fast-growing cities such as Kolkata in the Ganges delta, Bangkok in the Chao Phraya delta, or Shanghai, one of dozens of large cit...
Coastal areas are considered one of the environments most affected by human impact and climate change. These systems are subject to widespread human use, with high population density and significant port, industrial and tourism activities. In fact, few coasts in the world today escape the influence...
