Résumé
Asian megadeltas, including the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Irrawaddy, Chao Phraya, Mekong, and Red River deltas, are home to millions of people and are vital for regional food security. However, these regions face escalating risks from sea-level rise, urbanization, socio-economic development, and climate change.A new article in Reviews of Geophysics delves into the intricate dynamics of coastal flooding in Asia’s largest river deltas, highlighting the interplay between local and global changes. Here, we asked the lead authors to give an overview of these Asian megadeltas, the recent scientific advances in understanding coastal flood risks, and the persistent challenges that remain.
