Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta will be heavily impacted by climate change.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 March 2022, shows the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt (RMS) delta on the west coast of the Netherlands. The RMS is the largest delta in Europe, consisting of a complex system of distributaries and islands formed by the confluence of the Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt rivers. Many of these islands are below sea level, making the entire area particularly vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise. The Copernicus Land Monitoring Service has recently released a Coastal Zones dataset, a new product developed to monitor the complex dynamics of coastal environments and to support concrete actions to mitigate the effects of climate change, particularly of sea level rise. |
