    Abstract : Many of the coastal areas in Vietnam have elevations below one meter making them vulnerable to salt water intrusion, flooding, and erosion. The Red River Delta (RRD) located in northern Vietnam has suffered severe erosion along certain stretches of coastline during at least the last hundred years. READ MORE

  3. 17. Coastal parallel sediment transport on the SE Australian inner shelf : a study of barrier morphodynamics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap
