Journal Watch

“By identifying clusters of islands … with shared geomorphic characteristics generated by similar physical processes, we can extrapolate from local observations to larger areas of the delta and begin to predict how changes in the geomorphic drivers due to natural and anthropogenic forcings might affect delta morphology.” (Perignon et al., 2020, ESurf)
