Land loss due to human-altered sediment budget in the Mississippi River Delta
Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta is due to the human-altered sediment budget, yet
the relative contributions of building dams, levees and extracting subsurface resources are …

Coastal wetland resilience, accelerated sea‐level rise, and the importance of timescale
Recent studies have produced conflicting results as to whether coastal wetlands can keep
up with present‐day and future sea‐level rise. The stratigraphic record shows that threshold …

[HTML][HTML] Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta: Role of subsidence, global sea-level rise, and coupled atmospheric and oceanographic processes
Abstract The Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana has suffered large-scale land loss
during the historic period and is representative of a global phenomenon where low …

Sedimentation strategies provide effective but limited mitigation of relative sea-level rise in the Mekong delta
FE Dunn, PSJ Minderhoud - Communications Earth & Environment, 2022 - nature.com
The Mekong delta is experiencing rapid environmental change due to anthropogenic
activities causing accelerated subsidence, sea-level rise and sediment starvation …

Organic matter accretion, shallow subsidence, and river delta sustainability
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 …

Different fates of the Yangtze and Mississippi deltaic wetlands under similar riverine sediment decline and sea-level rise
Abstract The Yangtze River has experienced a sharp sediment decrease as a result of
extensive dam constructions since the 1980s, similar to the sediment decline in the …

Subtle land subsidence elevates future storm surge risks along the Gulf Coast of the United States
We developed a robust InSAR processing strategy that can effectively mitigate severe
decorrelation noise in a large volume of InSAR data. We mapped the average land …

Using normalize difference vegetation index to infer wetlands salinity and organic contribution to vertical accretion rates
Vegetation is a key component controlling soil accretion in coastal wetlands through
production of belowground organic matter and enhanced deposition of mineral sediments …

Sediment Compaction in Experimental Deltas: Toward a Meso‐Scale Understanding of Coastal Subsidence Patterns
We present the first investigation of subsidence due to sediment compaction and
consolidation in two laboratory‐scale river delta experiments. Spatial and temporal trends in …
