Posted on: 11 November 2024
Coastal river deltas must adapt to relative sea-level rise. Sedimentation, which occurs naturally in deltas, is a key factor for successful adaptation. However, anthropogenic activities reduce sediment delivery and hinder sedimentation processes. This PhD project aims to explore the potential of sedimentation for adaptation in deltas around the world. It will assess sedimentation processes and […]
