TL;DR: In this article , the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) delta is modeled as a two-dimensional flow and morphological model, which is capable of handling dynamic interactions between the river and floodplain systems and simulating floodplain sedimentation under different flowsediment regimes and anthropogenic interventions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide evidence for a large-scale geomorphic event in Cambodia's great lake, the Tonle Sap, during the middle Holocene, and argue that this widespread erosion, which removed at least 1.2m of sediment across the lake's extent, was triggered by up to three, likely interacting, processes: (1) base-level lowering due to mid-Holocene sea-level fall, leading to capture of theTonle Sap drainage by the Mekong River, and (2) a drying climate that also reduced lake level.

TL;DR: In this paper, trends of sediment supply to three of the world’s deltas (the Ganges-Brahmaputra, Mahanadi and Volta) are considered and the prospects for the future of these and other DELTAS discussed, focusing on how human activity can be modified to promote a more sustainable future for at-risk deltAs.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors identify the types of synoptic atmospheric conditions that are typically associated with coastal compound flooding events using a weather-type approach, for the North Atlantic coastlines (encompassing northwest Europe and the east coast of the United States).
