About the author
Vo Quoc Thanh was born on July 12th 1986 in Bac Lieu, Vietnam. He completed his BSc degree in Environmental Engineering from Can Tho University, Vietnam in 2008. He obtained his MSc degree in Environmental Management at Can Tho University, Vietnam in 2012. After graduating Vo Quoc Thanh worked as a researcher in the Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, Can Tho University until 2013. He was involved in several projects on flood hazard mapping and water infrastructure. From 2013 to 2015, he worked as a lecturer in Department of Environmental and Natural Resources Management, Can Tho University. During this period, he also acted as project assistant of the "Climate change and affecting land use in the Mekong Delta: Adaptation of rice-based cropping systems" a project funded by ACIAR. From 2015 onwards he is a lecturer in the Department of Water Resources, Can Tho University. From 2015 to 2019, he has been involved in the project of "Modeling a sparsely-sampled, complex delta system: Mekong Delta case study", funded by the Office of Naval Research and this work was financed by this fund.
Summary
This study presents the development of a numerical model to address the sediment dynamics and sediment budget of the Mekong Delta and adjacent continental shelf. The model is able to estimate the trapping efficiency and distribution of trapped sediment within the Mekong Delta.
