Based on data collected from the monitoring stations the mean sea level rise along the Vietnamese coastal area is about 2.8 mm/ year during the period 1993–2008. [12] According to these simulations, 37% of the total area of the Mekong Delta may be inundated to a depth of over 1 m under a sea level rise scenario of 0.5 m. [15]
Vietnam map of Köppen climate classification. Vietnam has a monsoon-influenced climate typical of that of mainland Southeast Asia. [1]: 25 The diverse topography, long latitude (Vietnam spans over 15° of latitude), and influences from the South China Sea lead to climatic conditions varying significantly between regions of Vietnam.

Because Vietnam is located in the eastern Indochinese Peninsula, the northernmost point and the westernmost point both lie on the land, and there are two southernmost points and two easternmost points along and inside the South China Sea. Vietnam stretches along the coast of the South China Sea, with the northernmost point being more than 1,650 ...
Sea level rise of 0.2–0.3 meters is likely by 2050. In these conditions what is currently a 100-year flood would occur every year in the New Zealand cities of Wellington and Christchurch. With 0.5 m sea level rise, a current 100-year flood in Australia would occur several times a year.
Regions of Vietnam Topographic map of Vietnam. Vietnam is located on the eastern margin of the Indochinese peninsula and occupies about 331,211.6 square kilometres (127,881.5 sq mi), of which about 25% was under cultivation in 1987. It borders the Gulf of Tonkin, Gulf of Thailand, and Pacific Ocean, along with China, Laos, and Cambodia.
During the Vietnam War the pass was the principal point of entry into the Ho Chi Minh Trail through Laos. [1] A CIA landscape analysis prepared in February 1966 described Route 15 as threading "its way upstream along a narrow, steep-sided valley. To the left rise dog-toothed limestone peaks, to the right is a flat-topped plateau.
The leaders of China and Vietnam hailed as "strategic" on Wednesday their decision to strengthen ties and be part of a community with a "shared future", as a visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping ...
The region is about 380 km from north to south, and about 50 km wide on average. It is bounded by the coast on the east, and the Northern Annamites rain forests to the west. The geological base features extensive limestone ('karst') mountains and valleys. Elevations range from sea level to 1,000 meters, with an average of 88 meters. [3]
