Summary: The study investigates modern sedimentation in the Atrato River Delta through analyzing sediment samples for grain size, mineral abundances, chemical weathering, and concentrations of major and trace elements. The results indicate a decreasing sediment size pattern towards the bays, with varying transport regimes and a dominance of quartz in mineralogy. High concentrations of oxides suggest oxidation processes with moderate to high weathering.

Summary: Analysis of geodetic data from the Po River Delta over the past decade reveals that land subsidence in the area is mainly a result of the compaction of organic-rich clay and fresh-water peat layers. The eastern part of the region experiences higher subsidence rates compared to the western part, with values exceeding -10 mm/year in some areas.

Summary: Land subsidence poses a serious threat to many areas around the world, and combining GNSS and InSAR techniques can provide more comprehensive and detailed information for monitoring. In this study, the proposed approach was successfully applied in the Po River Delta in Italy, extracting high-resolution deformation maps and revealing high land subsidence rates along the coastal area.

Summary: This investigation actively participated in the monitoring of coastal and delta river regions using Earth Observation (EO) technologies, aiming to provide estimates of future regional sea level changes and implement coastal protection measures. The project utilized remote sensing technologies and Synthetic Aperture Radar techniques for detecting ground deformations, providing essential assets for planning current and future scientific activities.

Summary: Determining changes in land and water areas over river deltas based on land-water ratios can help identify subsidence and shoreline erosion, and provide a foundation for studying land-cover and vegetation variations. The spatial pattern of most Mediterranean and Black Sea river deltas is largely characterized by increasing water areas, reflecting a mix of shoreline erosion, land-use changes, and subsidence. Future research should focus on detailed studies of each delta to unravel changes related to land-use, vegetation, and subsidence, as well as the interpretation of wetlands in these ratios.

Summary: A comparison of 21 existing and planned Sedimentation-Enhancing Strategies (SES) shows that most strategies are capable of outpacing high rates of sea-level rise, creating wetlands, flood water storage, and opportunities for agriculture, aquaculture, housing, or recreational land use. Combinations of multiple SES are likely the most effective and sustainable method for maintaining elevation in river deltas.

Summary: Phragmites australis, a globally distributed wetland plant, plays a significant role in channel sedimentation in the distributary channels of the Mississippi River Delta. Its dieback, along with other factors like sea-level rise and subsidence, can impact sedimentation patterns in complex deltas. River managers in Louisiana may benefit from new models and data to help make decisions on how to respond to Phragmites dieback effectively.

Summary: The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna Delta is one of the largest deltas in the world and transports a large amount of sediment. This study investigates whether sediment stored in tidal channels could serve as an additional source for platform nourishment. The results suggest that the sedimentation process remains relatively constant throughout the year, and the suspended sediment loads could be affected by India's National River Linking Project.

Summary: The study of six boreholes in the Nakdong River delta area in South Korea revealed fluctuations in sedimentation rates and histories over the past 12,000 years, influenced by sea level changes and climate. In the past 2,000 years, rapid delta progradation in the region was attributed to human activities and monsoonal climatic changes.

Summary: Riverbank erosion in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam has become more severe and frequent. A modified index called MK-BEHI is proposed to map the erosion potential of riverbanks in the delta. This index takes into account various factors such as near-bank stress, bank geology, vegetation cover, bank construction, accretion/erosion rate, and bank load. The findings show that areas with very high potential are concentrated in specific segments of rivers and canals in the delta.

Summary: The study shows that organic-rich sediments are susceptible to compaction, which may prevent wetlands from keeping up with sea-level rise. In order for wetland restoration efforts to be successful, new sediment deposition must outpace elevation lost to compaction. The portion of the Mississippi Delta targeted for restoration indicates potential for net elevation gain if sediment loads are sufficient.

Summary: The study focuses on the formation mechanisms of ferrimagnetic greigite in Holocene Yangtze River Delta deposits, revealing that greigite-bearing layers are primarily found in accreting tidal flat facies during sea level transgression. The sedimentary intervals with higher TS content and lower Sr/Ba ratios suggest the accumulation of greigite under reducing estuarine and shallow marine conditions. The results provide valuable insights into the heterogeneity of depositional processes in Holocene delta environments and demonstrate the potential of using magnetic detection of greigite for inferring salinity and sedimentation rate changes.
