TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an assessment of 33 deltas chosen to represent the world's Deltas and find that in the past decade, 85% of them experienced severe flooding, resulting in the temporary submergence of 260,000 km2.

TL;DR: Science must guide MDP restoration, which will provide insights into delta restoration elsewhere and generally into coasts facing climate change in times of resource scarcity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a 15-min quadrangle (approximately 68,000 ha) scale was used to evaluate the relationship between direct loss due to canal dredging and all other loss from 1933-1990 using a spatial scale of 4,100 ha.

Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating shallow subsidence in microtidal salt marshes of the southeastern United States: Kaye and Barghoorn revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, rates of subsidence of the upper 3-5 m of marsh substrate were calculated as the difference between vertical accretion and elevation change measured with feldspar marker horizons and a sedimentation-erosion table.
