Processes of delta formation in the mouth area of the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers
Tóm tắt
The evolution of the Ganges and Brahmaputra river delta during the Holocene period is discussed. Particular attention is given to the processes of delta formation, the dynamics of the delta hydrographic systems, the channel processes in river branches, as well as to the dynamics of the delta coastline and nearshore zone bed over the last 150–200 years. The calculation of sediment budget in the mouth area of these rivers is presented.
