The Mekong Delta Environmental Research Guidebook, Volume Four comprehensively covers the Mekong Delta and presents new evidence on unsolved environmental issues. Key experts from around the world offer suggestions for the implementation of more effective mitigation and adaptation measures, especially in the context of climate change and upstream hydropower dam development. This book will help guide students and scientists, both juniors and seniors in their journey of the Mekong Delta Environmental Research, by presenting them with all the necessary information and detailed case studies for a more in-depth understanding of each issue so they can make informed decisions.
Dr Edward Park (PhD. University of Texas at Austin, USA) is an Assistant Professor in Physical Geography at the National Institute of Education (NIE), Asian School of the Environment (ASE), and the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He is developing a river research program titled Tropical Rivers in the Anthropocene in EOS, which aims to understand how rivers in the tropics respond to different natural disasters and human impacts. With his research focused largely on large rivers in Southeast Asia, Edward is leading multiple projects in the Mekong Basin. He has published several high-impact research articles in top journals including Nature, Remote Sensing of Environment and Science of the Total Environment. He is currently the national representative for the International Association for Geomorphologists (IAG) and is an executive committee member of the Association of Singapore Teachers (AST). He is also an editorial board member of Science of the Total Environment and Journal of Environmental Management.
