sea level rise rate of the Chinese three big rivers delta is 1.5mm/a, the IPCC best estimation for the eustatic sea level rise rate for the three big deltas in 2030 is 4.5mm/a. Though these sea level rise values are relatively smaller than the land subsidence in coastal areas (mainly...
Sea level rise can affect infrastructure and settlements in low-lying coastal zones2,8. Climate change and coastal hazards like saltwater intrusion reduce habitat availability, suitability, and already limited freshwater resources9,10. Islands’ physical characteristics also influence risks: for example, ...
On the other hand, the mean sea levels along the western coasts of Japan and the Philippines, and that along the northern coast of Indonesia have fallen. The distribution map of mean sea level rise at the year 2030 from 1985 in this region is presented on the basis of the results of ...

The study assesses the impact of sea level rise (SLR) and the Can Gio Superport on sedimentation and erosion in the Soai Rap, Long Tau, and Go Gia rivers in southern Vietnam. By analyzing future scenarios for 2030, 2040, 2050, and 2100, the research examines changes in riverbed morphology...
Most adaptation studies suggest that sea-level rise will lead to relocation as flooding worsens. Here we identified and evaluated potential adaptation strategies for adapting to sea-level rise, based on the experiences of four low-lying island communitie
Philippines Deploys Vessels to Monitor 'Illegal' Presence of Chinese Boats in South China Sea More Reuters FILE PHOTO: A Philippine Coast Guard personnel looks through a binocular while conducting a resupply mission for Filipino troops stationed at a grounded warship i...
2Climate Change, Sea-Level Rise (SLR) and Adverse Consequences Loss of territory and of maritime zones have recently attracted attention because of the aggravation of SLR, a phenomenon the existence of which is widely supported by scientific evidence. An International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC...
abide by the rules set forth by UNCLOS because it is in their common interest to do so. On the other hand, greater domestic engagement is spurred by the recognition of the ocean as a policy issue requiring common efforts to combat everything from a rise in sea level to plastic pollution....
China claims 90% of the potentially energy-rich sea, but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also claim parts of it. Beijing has built bases on atolls in the region but says its intentions are peaceful. Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying...
