Coastal Geomorphic Response to Future Sea-level Rice and Its Implication for the Low-lying Areas of Bangkok Metropolis

この論文は国立情報学研究所の学術雑誌公開支援事業により電子化されました。Evidences on the relative sea-level rise in a tidal mangrove areas of this shoreline are useful to compile the measured and assumed rates of sea-level rise over the land for predicted conditions in the future and to compare the charts indicating the movements of the local sea-level change in the historical trend. In the low-lying areas of Bangkok Metropolis, an increase in sea-level of at least 1m is accepted for the next 100 years due to the warming effect of present super-interglacial. The most serious current problem of Bangkok now is related to the excessive exploitation of groundwater which has resulted in wide-scale subsidence and groundwater contamination. In the Bangkok metropolis areas, a combination of subsidence and sea-level rise will seriously affect residential area, pollution of surface water and groundwater, flooding, wastewater drainage and treatment, agricultural land, and industrial and commercial activities in the foreseeable future
