Concentrations and distributions of trace metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in
surficial sediments of the Cochin backwaters were studied during both monsoon and pre …

Lakes and wetlands are dynamic geomorphic units of a landscape that hold geochemical
signatures of sediment provenance and paleo-environmental shifts and are major sinks for …

Channel morphology is triggered by transport capacity, velocity of water, volume and size of
the supplied sediment. Changes in grain size, critical shear stress and bed roughness can …

Mahanadi estuary is situated in the eastern part of India with several industries along its
bank, which makes the system highly vulnerable to different types of pollutants. To assess …
