From: Mekong delta much lower than previously assumed in sea-level rise impact assessments
Projections of area below sea level following sea-level rise. Projections of relative sea-level rise (SLR) are based on the a SRTM DEM, b the MERIT DEM, c the transposed MERIT DEM, and the d Topo DEM. The transposed MERIT DEM matches the mean delta elevation of the Topo DEM and was created by subtracting 2.5 m from the original MERIT DEM. Total area of the delta plain below sea level with 1 m SLR is 31% for the SRTM DEM, 2% for the MERIT DEM, 59% for the transposed MERIT DEM, and 75% for the Topo DEM
