This book bridges the gap between research, practice, and policy by offering practical insights and evidence-based solutions. It provides a comprehensive guide to addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change and extensive anthropogenic activities on the health of global delta ecosystems. Through in-depth analysis, the book examines delta ecosystem resiliency, sustainable practices, and strategies for restoring and safeguarding natural resources. The book underscores the critical importance of studying rivers for their resilience, emphasizing the biophysical aspects of riverine landscapes and their interactions with ecosystems. It highlights how urbanization, groundwater extraction, agricultural intensification, channel regulation, and upstream activities like water withdrawals, diversion, and sediment trapping combine with coastal hazards - such as sea level rise, salinity intrusion, and hurricanes - to jeopardize delta social-ecological systems. Modern geospatial technologies play a prominent role, with discussions on data mining, analysis, modeling, assessment, and visualization techniques.
