Abstract
Tis 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.
