Many of the world's largest deltas are densely populated and heavily farmed. Yet many of
their inhabitants are becoming increasingly vulnerable to flooding and conversions of their …

Global sea level provides an important indicator of the state of the warming climate, but
changes in regional sea level are most relevant for coastal communities around the world …

Coastal risks are increasing from both development and climate change. Interest is growing
in the protective role that coastal nature-based measures (or green infrastructure), such as …

Coastal subsidence causes sea-level rise, shoreline erosion and wetland loss, which poses
a threat to coastal populations. This is especially evident in the Mississippi Delta in the …

We estimate the rates and patterns of vertical land motion (VLM) on all locations on Earth's
land surface using GPS Imaging. The solution is based on a large database of uniformly …

The Mississippi delta region of south Louisiana houses a wealth of resources within a
dynamic, subsiding landscape. Foundations for the delta region reflect Neogene evolution of …

Deltas are highly dynamic coastal systems that over the last few decades have generally
experienced a substantial area loss caused by trapping of river sediments in upland …

Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar is applied to the coast of the Yellow
River delta (YRD) in China. Like many deltas, the coastline of the YRD is dominated by …

New measurements of ongoing subsidence of land proximal to the city of New Orleans,
Louisiana, and including areas around the communities of Norco and Lutcher upriver along …

Very high subsidence rates are routinely documented within the Pontchartrain Basin and
coastal Louisiana. Subsidence promotes land loss and degrades the integrity of …
