Dit project betreft modellerend onderzoek (de aio) om glaciohydroisostasie (Stocchi) van andere bodemdaling en rel. zeespiegelbewegingen beter te ontrafelen(Stocchi en Cohen), door het gewicht en volume van sedimentatie zoals we dat uit geologische kartering weten dat het zich door de tijd heeft opgebouwd (Cohen) ook mee te nemen.

Delta areas, as unique ecosystems, are among the most densely populated areas in the world. Deltas are under increasing human and natural pressure. Future global change, with intensifying human activity, increasing weather extremes, changing river flow regimes and accelerated sea-level rise, will put deltas and their societies at increasing risk.

We therefore need deltas that are resilient to natural hazards, make sustainable use of natural resources, have healthy environmental conditions, and are able to cope with future climate change and sea-level rise. It is now the moment for science and society to find sustainable pathways into such future. This requires addressing the wide variety of processes - physical, chemical, biological, institutional and socio-economic – that interact in deltas in an integrated approach.

In the hub Water, Climate and Future Deltas researchers from varying disciplines at Utrecht University cooperate with external partners to design and evaluate pathways to sustainable delta development. The hub will provide policy makers and delta managers with the essential scientific basis for informed decision-making on pathways towards sustainable deltas.
