Sedimentation strategies provide effective but limited mitigation of relative sea-level rise in the Mekong delta

Frances E. Dunn et al.

Summary: Improved sediment management can partly compensate for anthropogenic-accelerated subsidence in the Mekong delta and buy time to mitigate rising sea levels. Designating specific areas for sedimentation and enhancing organic matter retention can help delay future relative sea-level rise.

Social vulnerability to environmental hazards in the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta, India and Bangladesh

Shouvik Das et al.

Summary: The study analyzes social vulnerability in the entire coastal delta of Bangladesh and India, finding that coastal residents are more susceptible to environmental hazards. Non-agricultural development and economic expansion have shown to significantly reduce vulnerability, but major cyclone landfalls may enhance vulnerability in affected areas. Further comprehensive analysis is recommended to understand common threats and possible solutions across the delta.

Experimental and Numerical Study of Discharge Capacity and Sediment Profile Upstream of Piano Key Weirs with Different Plan Geometries

Amiya Abhash et al.

Summary: Piano key weirs (PKWs) are an improved form of labyrinth weirs, which are gaining popularity for their hydraulic efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The study combined experimental and numerical research to investigate the discharge capacity and sediment carrying capacity of different plan geometries of PKWs. Findings show that PKW with a rectangular plan is more hydraulically efficient and self-cleaning than its trapezoidal counterparts.

Establishing sustainable sediment budgets is critical for climate-resilient mega-deltas

G. Vasilopoulos et al.

Summary: The study suggests that tidal extension into the Mekong delta in the next two decades will increase due to channel deepening, rather than being primarily driven by climate-driven sea-level rise. Even under strong mitigation scenarios, sediment starvation remains the key factor influencing future tidal extension.
