| Abstract | Coastal regions are vulnerable to flooding from rivers and rising seas, increasing storm strength, and destruction of ecologically-fragile areas. River deltas are especially impacted by the balance between increasing water levels from sea-level rise and tides, and land surface elevation changes. Bangladesh’s Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD), the world’s largest delta, is a particularly excellent place to investigate this problem. The land is sinking (subsiding), worsening the impact of sea-level r |
