Summary: This study analyzed sediment loads in the Mekong River from 1993 to 2018 and found that Tonle Sap Lake has become a sink for sediment since 2001, accumulating a significant amount annually. This has reduced the annual sediment transport to the delta, exacerbating the effects of reduced sediment delivery resulting from upstream dam development and instream sand mining.

Summary: This paper investigates the implications of value chain models in mainstream ecotourism in developing country contexts, using three case studies in Vietnam. The study finds that the Destination Management Unit (DMO) plays an important role in the operations of ecotourism, providing trust and satisfaction for tourists. However, the effectiveness of the DMO from the perspective of business households still needs improvement. The study also highlights the positive support from the government in promoting tourism activities, suggesting that effective government participation can streamline the management and development of ecotourism. The study recommends considering localization when applying the DMO and suggests that the DMO should act as the moderator in the ecotourism value chain.

Summary: This research evaluates the ability of farmers in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta's floodplains to adapt to hydrological changes. Extreme and diminishing floods caused by climate change and socio-economic developments have increased farmers' vulnerability. The study examines farmers' perceptions of changing flood patterns and their current vulnerabilities, as well as their adaptive capacity through five sustainability capitals. Results show that extreme floods are becoming less frequent and damaging, but diminishing floods pose new challenges and weaken farmers' adaptive capacity. Financial and natural capital are lower for low dyke farmers, affecting their ability to adapt.

Summary: Satellite-based post-tornado assessments have traditionally relied on visible and near-infrared channels to detect tornado tracks through identifying vegetation changes. However, this study shows that in a cropland-dominated and less vegetated area, significant scars are captured only by the shortwave infrared channels. The dominant soil type with high clay content contributes to preserving the severe changes in soil structure during tornado passages. This study suggests the use of shortwave infrared channels for quick post-tornado assessments in less vegetated areas.

Summary: In this study, the susceptibility to landslides in Ouro Preto, Brazil was mapped and discussed using various data and a novel mathematical model. The results show that areas with low-density vegetation and rocky outcrops are most susceptible to strong landslides, and urban land use areas are also at risk. The landslides that occurred in February 2022 were triggered by intense soil saturation due to the uneven relief and edaphoclimatic characteristics of the region. This study provides support for local governments and decision-makers in their mitigation efforts.

Summary: This paper introduces the Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) approach to characterize sediment load variability in the Red River system. The EOF analysis, modified for demeaned monthly sediment load data, shows significant similarity between simulated and observed patterns. The decrease in sediment load over the observation period (1958-2021) is attributed to seasonal and inter-annual hydrological conditions, as well as the impact of dam-reservoir. Before 1988, natural forces were the main driver, but anthropogenic pressure became more severe after 1988.

Summary: This paper assesses the migration mechanism in Soc Trang province in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) and explores labor management strategies for rural out-migration due to drought and saltwater intrusion (DSI) driven by climate change. The results indicate that farmers' livelihoods are not sustainable due to the negative impacts of DSI, and the most promising strategy for addressing the out-migration issue is to provide jobs and loan development programs. These findings offer an empirical evidence-based strategy for the labor out-migration issue in vulnerable delta areas affected by DSI.
