The Mekong delta is experiencing rapid environmental change due to anthropogenic
activities causing accelerated subsidence, sea-level rise and sediment starvation.
Consequentially, the delta is rapidly losing elevation relative to sea level. Designating
specific areas for sedimentation is a suggested strategy to encourage elevation-building
with nature in deltas. We combined projections of extraction-induced subsidence, natural
compaction and global sea-level rise with new projections of fluvial sediment delivery to …
