Romanos, C. (author)The role played by the Mekong River in the organization of land and people is inextricably linked with a particular spatial category. The concept of the hydrological catchment extends the space of the river far beyond the limits of the river’s perennial waterbodies, to encompass vast areas inhabited by millions of people speaking different...doctoral thesis 2023

Engel, Leander (author), Nijholt, Vincent (author), van de Wakker, Gerwin (author), Wesseling, Lucas (author), Winter, Theun (author)The Mekong Delta is facing some complicated challenges in the near future. Its geographical location and the fact that it is a delta result in low elevation levels which makes it vulnerable to inundation. This problem will only become bigger in the future due to the effects of climate change. To get funding from organisations like the world bank...student report 2023

Klessens, Tycho M.A. (author), Daniel, D. (author), Jiang, Yong (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author), Scholten, L. (author), Pande, S. (author)Freshwater resources in coastal areas are under intense pressure from excessive groundwater extraction, which amplifies saltwater intrusion (SWI) into coastal freshwater aquifers, such as in the Mekong Delta. Studies that combine socioenvironmental data and households' psychological factors next to salinity measurement data to design...journal article 2022

(author), Tran, Duc Dung (author), Ho, Loc Huu (author), Do, Quang Hung (author), Luu, Tang (author), Gorman, Timothy (author), Hermans, L.M. (author)The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) is an example of a complex dynamic socio-hydrological system in which societies and hydrology interact and co-evolve. The dominant engineering approach in the VMD has enhanced the dynamics of society and hydrology. This study looks at the implications of socio-hydrological dynamics in the coastal VMD where...journal article 2022

Tran, Khuong H. (author), Menenti, M. (author), Jia, Li (author)The annual flood and the alteration in hydrological regimes are the most vital concerns in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). Although synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Sentinel-1 imagery is widely used for water management, only a few studies have used Sentinel-1 data for mapping surface water and monitoring flood events in the VMD. This study...journal article 2022

(author), Kirezci, Ebru (author), Maheng, M.D. (author), Radhakrishnan, Mohanasundar (author), Pathirana, Assela (author)Risk-informed flood risk management requires a comprehensive and quantitative risk assessment, which often demands multiple (thousands of) river and flood model simulations. Performing such a large number of model simulations is a challenge, especially for large, complex river systems (e.g., Mekong) due to the associated computational and...journal article 2022

Phan, M.H. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Mangroves play an important role in sustaining a healthy coastal environment, providing a natural habitat to various species, a stable shoreline and forestry products. However, the extent of mangroves developed along the tidal coast of the Mekong delta in southern Vietnam has faced and still faces the impact from both natural and...journal article 2022

Minkman, E. (author), Nguyen, Hong Quan (author), Luu, Tang (author), Dang, Kim Khoi (author), Nguyen, Sy Linh (author), Du, Haomiao (author), Huizer, Tanya (author), Rijke, Jeroen (author)This study identifies how the governance of the transition to sustainable agriculture in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta is constrained by a lack of leadership, coordination, and funding. The Vietnamese Mekong Delta region is an important agricultural region yet highly vulnerable to climate change. In 2017, the Government of Vietnam issued...journal article 2022

Voorintholt, Derk (author), Minkman, E. (author), Gverdtsiteli, Gvantsa (author)Based on a qualitative case study in An Giang province, Vietnam, we mapped the understanding of the ‘Living with Floods’ (LWF) concept and the implementation of three projects to explain the effectiveness of water governance in Vietnam. We have demonstrated how perceptions on the LWF concept differ per government level and the limits of water...journal article 2022

Ngo, Q.H. (author)Flooding is one of the most frequently occurring and damaging natural disasters worldwide. Quantitative flood risk management (FRM) in the modern context demands statistically robust approaches (e.g. probabilistic) due to the need to deal with complex uncertainties. However, probabilistic estimates often involve ensemble 2D hydraulic model runs...doctoral thesis 2021

Dào, H.T. (author)In the past decade the role of wooden fences, containing brushwood and branches, in efforts to restoring mangroves has been recognized since a vast reduction of mangroves occurred along the Mekong deltaic coast. This study aims to better understand the hydrodynamic performance related to the possible mechanism of wave reduction and the influence...doctoral thesis 2021

Dào, H.T. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Suzuki, Tomohiro (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author), Mai, Tri (author), Tuan, Le Xuan (author)Mangrove forests, that often act as natural coastal defences, enormously suffered due to ongoing climate change and human disturbances. Thus, it is necessary to have a countermeasure to mitigate the loss of mangroves. Wooden fences are becoming a viable nature-based solution to protect vulnerable replanted mangrove forests. However, the wooden...journal article 2021

(author)The need for explicitly considering equity in climate change adaptation planning is increasingly being recognized. However, evaluations of adaptation often adopt an aggregated perspective, while disaggregation of results is important to learn about who benefits when and where. A typical example is adaptation of rice agriculture in the Vietnam...journal article 2021

(author), Soares-Frazão, Sandra (author)The accurate simulation of wetting–drying processes in floodplains and coastal zones is a challenge for hydrodynamic modelling, especially for long time simulations. Indeed, dedicated numerical procedures are generally time-consuming, instabilities can occur at the wet/dry front, rapid transition of wet/dry interface and mass conservation are...journal article 2020

Phan, M.H. (author)Coastal retreat problems occur in many deltas over the world. Coastal features are not constant over time and are affected by sea level rise, river runoff, sediment supply, wave and tidal energy, underlying geology and climate. In addition, human activities profoundly influence the coastal processes as a result of changing natural patterns of...doctoral thesis 2020

Stive, M.J.F. (author), Phan, L. K. (author), Truong, S. T. (author), Phan, H. M. (author), Dao, H. T. (author)Over the last few decades, the Mekong Delta Coast has undergone many physical changes that have increased its vulnerability. Issues that have grown in importance are erosion, human occupation of coastal and estuarine mangroves, decreased sediment supply by the Mekong River and subsidence due to groundwater extraction. These issues have led to...conference paper 2020
