TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on a specific example of such a delta: the Netherlands and evaluate whether the country's flood protection strategy is capable of coping with future climate conditions, focusing mainly on sea level rise.

TL;DR: The Global Geodetic Observing System (GGOS) as discussed by the authors is a global geodetic observing system that aims to serve the needs of an increasingly global society by providing tools and technologies for modern geodesy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the true size and tsunami potential can be determined using Global Positioning System (GPS) data up to only 15 min after earthquake initiation, by tracking the mean displacement of the Earth's surface associated with the arrival of seismic waves.

TL;DR: As the observing system of the IAG, GGOS facilitates a unique and essential combination of roles centering upon advocacy, integration, and international relations as mentioned in this paper, and promotes high-level outcomes such as the realization of the International Terrestrial Reference Frame through developing and maintaining working relationships among a variety of internal and external groups and organizations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify the key design aspects of a GPS-based system (and in the future, GNSS-based systems) that could contribute to real-time earthquake source determination and tsunami warning systems.
