Rivers are extremely sensitive to subtle changes in their grade caused by tectonic tilting. As
such, recognition of tectonic tilting effects on rivers, and their resultant sediments, can be a …

Flexing of the Indian lithosphere in response to the compressive forces due to collision, and
thrust-fold loading produced the Ganga Plain foreland basin in the Early Miocene. The basin …

The major goal of this book is to bring together evidence of active deformation on alluvial
rivers, with emphasis on geomorphological adjustment. The authors have grouped their …

Large transverse rivers draining the southern flank of the Nepal Himalaya commonly show
abrupt diversions to an axial course immediately north of the trace of the Main Boundary …

Discontinuity-bounded late Quaternary sequences in the southern Gangetic Plains
(Himalayan Foreland Basin) reflect floodplain aggradation and degradation in response to …

This Monograph Aims To Apprise Readers Of The Natural Events That Occurred And The

The recurrent flooding during monsoon and subsequent waterlogging in the northern Bihar
plains and the magnitude of losses due to these hazards indicate the continuing …

Determining the relative proportions of silicate vs. carbonate weathering in the Himalaya is
important for understanding atmospheric CO2 consumption rates and the temporal evolution …

The extensive Gangetic alluvial plains are drained by rivers which differ strongly in terms of
hydrological and sediment transport characteristics. These differences are manifested in the …
