Abstract: Given the uncertainty surrounding the location of flow paths on active alluvial fans, alluvial fan floods are more dangerous than riverine floods. The flood hazards coupled with the potential of channel shift, or avulsion,... more
In Holocene palaeogeographical studies, GIS nowadays is used in various ways, embracing either GIS modelling possibilities or GIS spatial data storage functionality. This paper is an example of the latter type of GIS use for... more
Avulsions involve switching of fluvial discharge through a new channel from an existing course and occur over varied timeframes ranging from hours to decades. With a peak discharge above 100,000 m^3/s, the Brahmaputra (2900 km) is one of... more

Damodar River (the second most important river of West Bengal after Bhagirathi-Hooghly River) is renowned for two main reasons – (1) the devastating monsoonal floods and (2) the economically valuable river basin under the Damodar Valley... more

Three pedons on the alluvial terraces of the Sabie-Sand River Basin within Kruger National Park, South Africa, were studied to improve our understanding recent environmental changes, assess chemical weathering and pedogenesis in the area... more
Clay minerals are often used as proxies for environmental conditions at the time of their deposition because some clays are the product of chemical weathering and their relative abundance can change as the climate changes. In this study... more
