TL;DR: Using multispectral scanning (MSS) images and digital elevation models (DEMs), 26 terrain morphological units were delineated in the study area between the Rapti and Kosi Rivers in the Gangetic plains as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the spatial and temporal distribution of Holocene terminal/inland fans in the Indo-Gangetic foreland basin and showed that the segmentation of the basin was initiated at 9.3-7.3 and continued up to 0.75-Ka in three distinct episodes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have identified 12 normal, active faults transverse to the regional Ganga and Yamuna longitudinal faults from the interpretation of digital elevation models (DEMs), prepared by manual digitization of spot heights from 1.5 million scale topographic maps.
Abstract: Twelve normal, active faults transverse to the regional Ganga and Yamuna longitudinal faults have been identified in the western part of the gently sloping Upper Gangetic Plain from the interpretation of digital elevation models (DEMs), prepared by manual digitization of spot heights from 1 : 50 000 scale topographic maps. High vertical exaggeration of these DEMs reveals artefactual morphostructures such as 'cliffs' and 'significant breaks in slopes' that are indicative of faults. Convergent drainage on the upthrown blocks, initiation of new streams on the downthrown blocks, offsetting of drainage and anomalous sinuosity of streams close to faults have provided additional corroborating evidence of the faults. Detailed field investigations indicate relatively steeper slopes close to the inferred faults than the adjoining areas. Erosion of the upthrown blocks and deposition of sediments on the downthrown blocks in the form of terminal fans under a semi-arid climate formed features typical of many such faults.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the soft sediment deformation structures from the south Bihar associated with the prehistoric earthquakes near the East Patna Fault for the first time and observed the seismites have been observed in the riverine sand bed of the Dardha River close to the EastPatna Fault.

TL;DR: In this paper, ground penetrating radar (GPR) studies reveal the concealed thrust planes beneath the sediments and the topographic breaks looking like normal faults are interpreted to be the relief created by backward erosion of the thrust sheets along with the overlying sediments.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of advances in the field of alluvial and fluvial fans can be found in this article, along with a review of the current state of the art.
Abstract: Alluvial and fluvial fans are the most widespread depositional landforms bordering the margins of long-lived highland regions and actively subsiding continental basins, across a broad spectrum of tectonic and climatic settings. Their significance is relevant not only to the local morphodynamics of mountain regions and proximal basinal sectors, but also to the long-term evolution of sediment-routing systems, affecting the propagation of stratigraphic signals of environmental change and the preservation potential of stratal successions over much larger spatial scales than those they occupy. Subaerial fan systems archive information on the palaeoclimate, local tectonic history and landscape response to various allogenic factors, although our ability to decipher such information is still limited. Early recognition of alluvial fans dates from the late nineteenth century, but a coordinated research community on these systems has been active only over the last few decades and the full relevance of fluvial fan systems to the geomorphology of present day continental basins and to the interpretation of ancient stratigraphic successions has been convincingly demonstrated only over the last decade. This introductory chapter summarizes advances in our knowledge of alluvial and fluvial fans, identifies potential new lines of future inquiry, and presents the contributions to this volume in the context of the current state of research.
