Hyperconcentrated floods cause extreme gravel transport through the sandy rivers of the Gangetic Plains
Abstract The Gangetic Plains comprise steep gravelly river channels that transition to low gradient sandy channels 10-40 km downstream of the mountain front. This “gravel-sand transition" is characterized by an abrupt greater-than-one-order-of-magnitude drop in both gradient and sediment grain...
