- Sedimentation strategies | Water Climate and Future DeltasThe worldwide decline in sediment supply is problematic as deltas need sediment to maintain elevation and survive increasing rates of sea level rise and subsidence./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/sediments-matter/sedimentation-strategies
- Sediment history | Water Climate and Future DeltasBy developing an extremely high-resolution database of the Rhine-Meuse delta, researchers at the Water, Climate and Future Deltas (WCFD) hub have reconstructed its sediment history and development over thousands of years./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/sediments-matter/follow-the-sediment/sediment-history
- Follow the sediment | Water Climate and Future DeltasResearchers at the Water, Climate and Future Deltas (WCFD) hub closely follow the sediment along the river in the Rhine-Meuse delta, from river bifurcations on the delta plain, along the floodplains, through the estuary and along the coast./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/sediments-matter/follow-the-sediment
- Global picture | Water Climate and Future DeltasDeltas are highly dynamic: they evolve through the interaction of sediment delivery, redistribution and export. They need sediment to survive, especially with increasing rates of relative sea-level rise./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/sediments-matter/global-picture
- Sediments matter | Water Climate and Future DeltasDeltas need sediment to keep up with sea level rise and land subsidence. Researchers at the Water, Climate and Future Deltas (WCFD) hub work to understand sediment behaviour and look for sustainable strategies to manage sediment./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/sediments-matter
- Interdisciplinary research group | Water Climate and Future DeltasContact persons of the storyline 'The future of our deltas' of the Water, Climate and Future Deltas hub at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, a platform for scientists and external stakeholders to jointly work on ensuring the sustainability of our world’s deltas./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas/interdisciplinary-research-group
- Future challenges | Water Climate and Future DeltasThe most recent IPCC report shows that we are already experiencing the effects of climate change, which will intensify in the future depending on greenhouse gas emissions./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas/future-challenges
- Case studies | Water Climate and Future DeltasGlobal scenarios may not fit the specific context of countries, regions or deltas. The Water, Climate, and Future Deltas hub therefore developed regional delta scenarios that account for local and delta-specific context./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas/case-studies
- Major deltas of the world | Water Climate and Future DeltasExplore the projections of future climate and socio-economic change for the world's major deltas in the Google Map below. These projections were obtained from studies by Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas/major-deltas-of-the-world
- The global picture | Water Climate and Future DeltasBy developing and using scenarios of biophysical change and socio-economic development, researchers at the Water, Climate and Future Deltas hub improve the understanding of delta systems and their drivers to identify which impact these drivers may have on deltas and their adaptation strategies in the future, e.g., as land area changes and limits management options./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas/the-global-picture
- The future of our deltas | Water Climate and Future DeltasThe future development and vulnerability of deltas depend on changes in human and climate drivers and pressures which play on a global scale and are highly uncertain./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines/the-future-of-our-deltas
- Storylines | Water Climate and Future DeltasExplore the interdisciplinary research topics of the Water, Climate and Future Deltas hub in the storylines below./en/research/water-climate-and-future-deltas/storylines
