Tracks how shifting land use reshapes flood and ecosystem-service trade-offs in the delta.

Dr Dang Thi Mai tracks how shifting land use reshapes flood and ecosystem-service trade-offs in the delta. As rice fields become aquaculture ponds and farmland gives way to settlement, she maps what each change means for flooding, water quality, and the services the landscape provides.

Her analysis gives planners a clearer view of the long-term consequences of today's land-use decisions, so trade-offs can be made deliberately rather than by accident.
