Deltas in the Anthropocene

Deltas in the Anthropocene, Volume 1, is a comprehensive study within the fields of earth sciences and geography. This science and math text examines how the human-dominated modern era accelerates environmental and climate change, specifically impacting the sustainable management of global deltas. The author analyzes the effects of river damming, coastal engineering, and the rapid growth of megacities on these critical landscapes.

This multi-disciplinary volume focuses on the bio-physical and social dynamics of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna, Mahanadi, and Volta deltas. By aligning with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, the book addresses poverty, structural inequality, and climate vulnerability. It provides a policy-orientated framework for adaptation choices and governance processes to protect the millions of people living in these volatile regions.
