Bars and subaqueous levees often form at river mouths due to high sediment availability.
Once these deposits emerge and develop into islands, they become important elements of …

Deltas worldwide are at risk of elevation loss and drowning due to relative sea-level rise.
Management strategies to restore or enhance sedimentation on delta plains, Sedimentation …

Two decades after the construction of the first major dam, the Mekong basin and its six
riparian countries have seen rapid economic growth and development of the river system …

Mangrove-mud coasts across the world erode because of uninformed management,
conversion of mangrove forests into aquaculture ponds, development of infrastructure and …

River deltas all over the world are sinking beneath sea-level rise, causing significant threats
to natural and social systems. This is due to the combined effects of anthropogenic changes …

Today's deltas are impacted negatively by (1) accelerated subsidence (eg, from ground fluid
extraction),(2) global eustatic sea level rise, and (3) decreased sediment supply, which …

River deltas support a disproportionate percentage of the world's population and some are
drowning as sea level rises. Resilient deltas theoretically balance relative sea-level rise with …

Globally, mineral sediment supply to deltaic wetlands has generally decreased so these
wetlands increasingly rely on accretion of organic matter to keep pace with relative sea …

Mouth bars are morphological units important for deltas, estuaries, or rivers debouching into
the sea. Several processes affect the formation of these deposits. This paper focuses on the …

River deltas are sites of sediment accumulation along the coastline that form critical
biological habitats, host megacities, and contain significant quantities of hydrocarbons …
