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

An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the
margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a …

It has been proposed that the Kosi River continuously migrated> 113 km westward across
the surface of the megafan over the last two centuries. Examination of a number of old maps …

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

Series, Volume 19. What are the forms and processes characteristic of mountain rivers and …

Recent work indicates that most modern continental sedimentary basins are filled primarily
by distributive fluvial systems (DFS). In this article we use depositional environment …

West Bengal (88,752 km2) is the only Indian state that extends from the Himalaya to the Bay

Analysis of over 400 fluvial megafans (> 30km in length) in aggradational continental
sedimentary basins reveals that geomorphic channel and floodplain changes on these …

This paper evaluates the recent claim made by Weissmann et al.(2010) that deposits of
“Distributive Fluvial Systems”(DFS) may form the bulk of the continental fluvial record …
