DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset forms the foundation of the results generated in the thesis: Morphological Evolution and Sustainability of Deltas in the 21st Century. Modelled elevation change in the Devi and Mahanadi river catchment for the years 2045, 2065, and, where applicable, 2075. Results were produced using the CAESAR-Lisflood model. See chapter 5 of thesis for a full scenario description. The file name refers to the name of the scenario followed by the number of years into the model run: elevdat.430.tst for example refers to elevation change at the year 2045 under scenario 4DWD. The files 'levee break' and 'subdelta' refer to the additional scenarios as described in chapter 7 of the thesis. 

This work is carried out under the Deltas, vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA) project (IDRC 107642) under the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) programme with financial support from the UK Government's Department for international Development (DFID) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.
