title = "Adaptation to sea level rise in densely populated coastal areas: Learning from examples of land subsidence in japan, indonesia and the philippines",
abstract = "The authors conducted extensive field surveys in densely populated coastal areas affected by land subsidence in Indonesia, Philippines and Japan. The results indicate that the preferred adaptation mechanism for coastal areas is elevating them using soil, rubble, or coral stones, and then re-surfacing to obtain a smooth surface, and building dykes where possible. Eventually, pumps are installed, and new areas can be reclaimed from the sea. By studying how densely populated coastal communities have attempted to adapt to land subsidence, it is possible to try to understand the effects that future sea level rise will have on other areas of the planet.",

note = "Funding Information: The support of the Graduate Program in Sustainability Science, Global Leadership Initiative (GPSS-GLI, under the scheme of “Program for Leading Graduate Schools”) was also instrumental in paying the salaries and scholarships of the key researchers. Thus, the contribution of The University of Tokyo, The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, Japan, is also appreciated). Funding for this research was partially supported by the Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (S-14) of the Ministry of the Environment Japan and JSPS KAKENHI (Grant Number 16KK0121). Also, field trips to the Philippines were possible through a research grant to promote transdisciplinary research (“Gakuyugo-suishin-hi”) funded by the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, July 2017. Finally, a part of the present work performed as a part of activities of Research Institute of Sustainable Future Society, Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering, Waseda University.
