Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

More than 70% of large deltas are under threat from rising sea levels, subsidence and
anthropogenic interferences, including the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna (GBM) delta, the …

Over the past few decades, groundwater wells installed in rural areas throughout the major
river basins draining the Himalayas have become the main source of drinking water for tens …

Relative sea/land level changes are fundamental to people living in deltas. Net subsidence
is complex and attributed to tectonics, compaction, sedimentation and anthropogenic …

Abstract The Ganges–Brahmaputra river delta, with 170 million people and a vast, low-lying
coastal plain, is perceived to be at great risk of increased flooding and submergence from …

Covering approximately 10,000 km2 the Sundarbans in the Northern Bay of Bengal is the
largest contiguous mangrove forest on earth. Mangroves forests are highly productive and …

Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dip** horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

Numerous cores and dating show the Yangtze River has accumulated about 1.16× 1012 t
sediment in its delta plain and proximal subaqueous delta during Holocene. High-resolution …

In the deltaic plain of the Ganges‐Meghna‐Brahmaputra Rivers, arsenic concentrations in
groundwater commonly exceed regulatory limits (> 50 µg L− 1) because FeOOH is …

In order to investigate the mechanism of As release to anoxic ground water in alluvial
aquifers, the authors sampled ground waters from 3 piezometer nests, 79 shallow (< 45 m) …
