Scientific milestone --> Our paper in #Science (@Science magazine) on how you avert the imminent #drowning of the #Mekong #Delta is out! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Hope this is picked up, no time (i.e. delta elevation) to waste! Thanks to Matt Kondolf & @RjpSchmitt, and the team.

We are hiring for a full-funded, 4-year #PhDposition available at @WUR, The Netherlands on #Sinking #river #deltas: modelling of #landsubsidence processes, projecting impacts of relative sea-level rise and designing solutions. wur.nl/en/vacancy/phd…

The coastal #subsidence session is back at #EGU24 @EGU_GM, thanks to @DeltaSubsidence, @shirzaei, @cla_zocc and others. As part of @IPLSubsidence, the session is expanding its focus to examine subsidence more broadly.Orals: Tue, Apr 16, 10:45–12:30 room G2, Posters: 16:15-18:00.

New perspective paper in @OneEarth_CP on the paradigm shift in delta management to contact r slr through sediment enhancing strategies. Great collaborative work #UU #FutureDeltas #Hub!
