Data underlying the publication: Tipping points in river deltas

This is the full dataset that is needed to create a worldmap, which is shown as a figure in the following publication:

van de Vijsel, R.C., Scheffer, M. & Hoitink, A.J.F. (2024). Tipping points in river deltas. Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.

This worldmap shows how three main drivers of change are projected to change in the near future, for 47 of the world's major river deltas. These drivers are: i) changes in compound flood risk due to combined storm surge and river flood, ii) changes in sediment budget, and iii) changes in relative sea level.

The current dataset contains: a) instructions on how to download three existing (published) datasets that are used to make the worldmap; b) the computer scripts (Matlab and Jupyter Notebook) that are needed to analyze these existing datasets and to produce the worldmap; c) output from these computer scripts (figures and calculation results).
