The Anthropocene is the human-dominated modern era that has accelerated social, environmental and climate change across the world in the last few decades. This open access book examines the challenges the Anthropocene presents to the sustainable management of deltas, both the many threats as well as the opportunities. In the world’s deltas the Anthropocene is manifest in major land use change, the damming of rivers, the engineering of coasts and the growth of some of the world’s largest megacities; deltas are home to one in twelve of all people in the world. The book explores bio-physical and social dynamics and makes clear adaptation choices and trade-offs that underpin policy and governance processes, including visionary delta management plans. It details new analysis to illustrate these challenges, based on three significant and contrasting deltas: the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Mahanadi and Volta.
This multi-disciplinary, policy-orientated volume is strongly aligned to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals as delta populations often experience extremes of poverty, gender and structural inequality, variable levels of health and well-being, while being vulnerable to extreme and systematic climate change.

Описание: Rivers are the most visible form of fresh water. Rivers are ancient and older than civilizations - a "mini cosmos" spawning history, tales, spirituality, and technological incursions. Flowing rivers are the largest renewable water resource as well as a crucible for both human and aquatic ecosystems. This volume explores rivers and the role they play.

Описание: Remote sensing offers the potential for large scale, high-resolution, multi-temporal, multi-sensor measurements, with the possibility of large amounts of data stretching over space and time. This book presents numerous examples of how remote sensing can be applied in a way to aid in the study of some areas of the terrestrial water cycle.

Описание: Geomorphology and Groundwater is a state-of-the-art scientific field that focuses on the overlaps between geomorphology and hydrology. The study of groundwater helps to understand the local geomorphology, deposition of minerals, and even climate change records. The groundwater transportation carries the minerals, plays important role in deposition, sets up the distribution of them and affects water quality simultaneously. This lead to environmental issues and geographic phenomena. The understanding of groundwater processes contributes valuable information to a broad of geological topics. In this book, each article covers a specific geomorphology and groundwater topic, including studies on geotechnical methodologies for groundwater or beneath waters, weathering data from the angle of geomorphology, building models to understand cause and dynamic of landscapes or landforms and studies about hazard assessment and management.

Описание: Geomorphology is the study of landforms. Coastal geomorphology focuses on the history of formation of coasts. This text deals with the erosion of coasts, coastal management, bioindicators for coastal pollutants and techniques like remote sensing and GIS for the analysis of coastal ecosystems.
This is the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts. The conference focuses on coastal engineering and related fields among Asian and Pacific countries/regions. It includes the classical topics of the coastal engineering as well as topics on coastal environment, marine ecology, coastal oceanography, and fishery science and engineering. The book will be valuable to professionals and graduate students in this field.
