What is commonly absent in the discussion of rising sea  level, however, is the role played by the subsidence of low-lying  coastal areas, which can have a far greater local effect than the  eustatic rise of the sea. The combined sea-level rise and land  subsidence will almost certainly make the greatest impact on coastal  societies in the densely populated regions of southern Asia, but its  effects will be felt globally. \u003cbr\u003e  This volume explores the concepts of sea-level rise and coastal  subsidence, both natural and anthropogenically accelerated, in the  form of a series of case studies in such diverse locations as Bangkok,  Bangladesh, Venice, and the Niger and Mississippi deltas, as well as a  discussion of the economic, engineering and policy responses that must  be considered if the effects of local sea-level rise are to be  mitigated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792339335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8719-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 370\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312096825484,"sku":"9780792339335","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792339335.jpg?v=1771518225","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792339335","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
