The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD) has been affected by environmental challenges for several decades, including coastal erosion and land subsidence. Subsidence rates of several cm/yr have been reported in parts of the delta, which are one order larger than the regional sea level rise of 3.3 mm/yr. Th...
