Abstract

Deltas are globally considered as one of the most vital socio-ecological systems, however their geo-hydrological regimes are gradually destabilized by change in climatic patterns. Based on this scenario, the research delves into a comparative study of two contrasting deltas comprising of Nelson River Delta in Canada situated in Global North and the Ganga-Brahmaputra Delta spatially occupying India and Bangladesh situated in Global South. Both deltas are significant ecological systems; The Nelson delta is characterized by boreal-subarctic wetland ecosystems, fisheries and traditional livelihood, on the other hand, the Ganges Delta marks a region of high population density characterized by complex interplay of natural and anthropogenic activities, fisheries, intensive agriculture and mangrove ecosystems. Impact of climatic shifts are evident in both deltas.…
