Deltas are inherently impermanent: As climate changes through the epochs, as the seas rise and fall, deltas are formed and then buried underwater. But recent shifts have brought on some rapid losses that worry scientists.

Is this βage of the deltaβ coming to an end?
The wet landmasses, though inherently impermanent, have been essential to both people and wildlife for thousands of years. But recent shifts have brought on some rapid losses that worry scientists.
Geomorphologist Jaap Nienhuis talks with Boyce Upholt in a Q&A.

Hi! π We are scientists studying Earth and environmental systems, as a research institute at #CUBoulder. Our name = cold/high places, and weβve got deep roots there. But these days we investigate systems from the tropics to the poles, incl. world ocean & atmosphere.
