Deltas are vulnerable even if we stop subsidence

Deltas are vulnerable even if we stop subsidence. Already in a few decades, subsidence will no longer be the dominant driver determining the future of our deltas and low-lying coastal areas.

The world’s river deltas are sinking rapidly

The world’s river deltas are sinking rapidly. Half of the global river delta areas are sinking, largely due to groundwater extraction. This subsidence in many cases contributes more to relative sea-level rise than sea-level rise itself.

The first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean is almost here

The first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean is almost here. Predictions of the first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean, based on several models, show that we could observe ice-free conditions in the Arctic Ocean already as early as 2030.

By 2100, year-round navigation of the Arctic Ocean From 2065 onward, ships will be able to achieve stable and safe navigation across the Arctic Ocean during the summer and autumn seasons, with the potential for year-round navigation.

More routes for trans-Arctic shipping will open in the next 50 years Trans-Arctic shipping will be relatively risky until about 2045, because of fast ice formation and sea ice ridging. But new routes across the Arctic will open in due course, perhaps as early as 2070.
