Could road constructions be more hazardous than an earthquake in terms of mass movement?
Roads can have a significant impact on the frequency of mass wasting events in
mountainous areas. However, characterizing the extent and pervasiveness of mass …

[HTML][HTML] Long-term erosion of the Nepal Himalayas by bedrock landsliding: The role of monsoons, earthquakes and giant landslides
O Marc, R Behling, C Andermann… - Earth Surface …, 2019 - esurf.copernicus.org
In active mountain belts with steep terrain, bedrock landsliding is a major erosional agent. In
the Himalayas, landsliding is driven by annual hydro-meteorological forcing due to the …

30-year record of Himalaya mass-wasting reveals landscape perturbations by extreme events
In mountainous environments, quantifying the drivers of mass-wasting is fundamental for
understanding landscape evolution and improving hazard management. Here, we quantify …

Steady erosion rates in the Himalayas through late Cenozoic climatic changes
Sediment accumulation rates and thermal trackers suggest a substantial and global
increase in erosion rates over the past few million years. That increase is commonly …

An unshakable carbon budget for the Himalaya
The erosion and weathering of mountain ranges exert a key control on the long-term (105–
106 yr) cycling of carbon between Earth's surface and crust. The net carbon budget of a …

Medieval demise of a Himalayan giant summit induced by mega-landslide
Despite numerous studies on Himalayan erosion, it is not known how the very high
Himalayan peaks erode. Although valley floors are efficiently eroded by glaciers, the …

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 …

An automated approach in estimation and prediction of riverbank shifting for flood-prone middle-lower course of the Subarnarekha river, India
S Jana - International Journal of River Basin Management, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
The riverbank/bankline shifting is mainly caused by the monsoonal hydrodynamic behaviour
and intensive sand mining from the riverbed in the middle-lower course of Subarnarekha …

Integrating suspended sediment flux in large alluvial river channels: Application of a synoptic Rouse‐based model to the Irrawaddy and Salween rivers
A large portion of freshwater and sediment is exported to the ocean by a small number of
major rivers. Many of these megarivers are subject to substantial anthropogenic pressures …
