Coastal river deltas must adapt to relative sea-level rise. Sedimentation, which occurs naturally in deltas, is a key factor for successful adaptation. However, anthropogenic activities reduce sediment delivery and hinder sedimentation processes. This PhD project aims to explore the potential of sedimentation for adaptation in deltas around the world. It will assess sedimentation processes and strategies to enhance sedimentation, providing insights into the role of sediment in supporting delta adaptation.
You will investigate the effectiveness of sediment management strategies for adaptation, as well as assess global delta sediment needs and deficits under relative sea-level rise scenarios, highlighting the limits of adaptation. The project will involve developing a generic numerical model, derived from high-resolution process-based models, to evaluate sedimentation management. Additionally, you will explore the potential for sediment management to support other adaptation measures as part of pathways towards adaptation strategies.
To support both your academic and personal development, you will take courses and assist in teaching Earth Sciences courses at the Bachelor's and Master's levels. These activities will comprise twenty percent of your contracted time.
