dc.description.abstractTis book provides a quality excursion into one of the hottest topics in environmental research. Deltas have historically ofered up a rich potential in the maintenance of coastal biodiversity, and fow regulation between the landscape and the coastal ocean. Deltas remain a key environment for human development and support. Te 600 million habitants, now living or working on deltas, face the looming threat of global sea-level rise due to climate change. More local coastal subsidence, related to water extraction (urban consumption, irrigation, and industrialisation), peat oxidation, and petroleum mining, further compounds the impact of a rising global ocean.
