Sediment delivery to sustain the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta under climate change and anthropogenic impacts

Abstract The principal nature-based solution for offsetting relative sea-level rise in the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta is the unabated delivery, dispersal, and deposition of the rivers’ ~1 billion-tonne annual sediment load. Recent hydrological transport modeling suggests that strengthening monsoon pre...
