No delta left behind? Study finds adaptation to rising seas is possible in most deltas... for now

Around the world, in nearly every delta, people can adapt to rising sea levels using today's technological capabilities, materials, and space, according to researchers from Utrecht University and Deltares. In their new study—the first global assessment of the physical solution space of global deltas—they analyzed nearly 800 deltas, representing ~96% of the global delta land area and home to roughly 350 million people, to determine their opportunities for sea-level rise adaptation.
