Impacts of global change on deltas, estuaries and coastal lagoons

The conference's objective is to analyze and synthesize the main impacts of global change on estuarine systems from the perspective of research, observation, management and governance. Our intention is to understand the state-of-the-art and discuss future perspectives and strategies for collaboration between networks. The meeting will consider the main specific problems of deltaic systems, in particular water and sediment management under a scenario of increasing sea level and flooding risks, in order to discuss solutions based on an integrated and systematic approach. Another goal of the DeltaNet Symposium will be to involve other international networks on deltas, to hold a summit of world delta networks that will chart future collaboration avenues.
