We invite you to submit an abstract to the EGU session ‘Sustainable management of river deltas under pressure’, which will be held at the EGU General Assembly 2017, 23-28 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.

The aim of this session is to bring together knowledge of both natural and societal processes acting in a delta, and their impacts, which is essential to find sustainable solutions for delta management. We invite contributions to this session on:

1. human-induced processes driving change in river deltas
2. impacts of these changing conditions
3. optimizing delta management solutions.

For a full session description and submission visit the EGU website.

We plan to publish the contributions to this session in a special issue in the Anthropocene journal.

This session is organized by Future Deltas, a research focus area of Utrecht University, in collaboration with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA) and the University of Southampton (UK).

All the best,

Conveners of this session:
Esther Stouthamer (Utrecht University)
