Floods are one of the most severe natural hazards. Natural and anthropogenic climate change and a changing landscape have the potential to exacerbate flood impacts. An in-depth understanding of flood types, processes and ...
The economic risk from and social vulnerability to riverine floods in India is one of the highest, if not the highest, in the world, with millions of people exposed and vulnerable, and billions of rupees ...
A suitable model is developed by analyzing the effects of external stimuli such as changes in pressure and temperature on the gas production behavior for the multi-phase fluid system. Our ultimate goal was to assess and ...
This special issue of the Groundwater for Sustainable Development �Contaminant Transport and Fate in Freshwater Systems � Integrating the fields of geochemistry, geomorphology and nanotechnology� provides an update of the ...
The Sub-Himalaya is arguably consuming ~100% of the total Himalayan shortening since early Quaternary. We compiled geodetic shortening rates, paleoseismic events (historical earthquakes), shortening rates deduced from ...
The Kosi River is known as one of the most dynamic river systems. Even smaller interfan rivers joining the Kosi River at downstream reaches are also characterised by frequent channel migration. Avulsion process is responsible ...
