Rivers that receive significant amounts of their surface water supply from monsoon
precipitation characteristically experience seasonal floods, and display seasonally highly …

Since tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins provides the potential for long-term facies
preservation into the sedimentary record, analysis of geomorphic elements in modern …

This paper presents an overview of tropical river systems around the world and identifies
major knowledge gaps. We focus particularly on the rivers draining the wet and wet–dry …

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 …

Active tectonics in a basin plays an important role in controlling a fluvial system through the
change in channel slope. The Baghmati, an anabranching, foothills-fed river system …

The 18 August 2008 avulsion of the Kosi River draining the parts of north Bihar in eastern
India may well be regarded as one of the greatest avulsions in a large river in recent years …

River deltas and alluvial fans have channelization and deposition dynamics that are not
entirely understood, but which dictate the evolution of landscapes of great social, economic …

The Ganga basin in the Himalayan foreland is a part of the world's largest area of modern
alluvial sedimentation and supports a population of over 200 million people. The Ganga …

Anabranching river systems are now regarded as a separate class in river classifications
owing to their distinctive morphological/hydrological characteristics and fluvial processes. A …

Abstract Models for river avulsions have identified the ratio between down-valley and cross-
valley slopes of channels as the triggering factors for the sudden channel shift but have …
