Scientists warn of urgent need to tackle changes impacting river deltas
University of East AngliaPeer-Reviewed Publication
New research identifies the key causes of changes affecting river deltas around the world and warns of an urgent need to tackle them through climate adaptation and policy.
Deltas are low-lying areas that form as rivers and empty their water and sediment into another body of water, such as an ocean, lake, or another river.
Some of the largest in the world, such as the Rhine, Mekong, Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, and Nile, are threatened by climate change, facing rising sea levels and increasing frequency of extreme events.
With approximately 500 million people today living within or adjacent to delta systems, this is a major issue.
