Hydrochemical framework of the aquifer in and around East Kolkata Wetlands, West Bengal, India
Paulami Sahu,P. K. Sikdar +1 more
TL;DR: A detailed geochemical investigation of 40 groundwater samples along with statistical analysis on these chemical data reveal: (i) four types of groundwater quality, for example, good, poor, very poor and water unsuitable for drinking purpose, (ii) four hydrochemical facies which may be assigned to three broad types such as fresh, blended, and brackish waters, (iii) the evolution of the “blended” water is possibly due to hydraulic mixing of “fresh” and “brackish” waters within the aquifer matrix and/or

Geologic, geomorphic and hydrologic framework and evolution of the Bengal basin, India and Bangladesh
TL;DR: The Bengal basin is the largest fluvio-deltaic sedimentary system on Earth and is located in Bangladesh and three eastern states of India as discussed by the authors, which is bounded by the Indian craton on the west and the Indo-Burmese fold belts on the east.

Changing river courses in the western part of the Ganga–Brahmaputra delta
TL;DR: In this article, the decay and changing course of rivers in the western part of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is discussed. But the decay of rivers has been exacerbated by human intervention, especially where rivers are embanked and no allowance made for their migration through meandering and avulsion.

Evolution of Ganges–Brahmaputra western delta plain: Clues from sedimentology and carbon isotopes
Anindya Sarkar,S. Sengupta,John M. McArthur,P. Ravenscroft,M.K. Bera,Ravi Bhushan,Arpita Samanta,Shailesh Agrawal +7 more
TL;DR: Sedimentology, carbon isotope and sequence stratigraphic analysis of subsurface sediments from western part of Ganges-Brahmaputra (GB) delta plain shows that a Late Quaternary marine clay and fluvial channel-overbank sediments of MIS 5 and 3 highstands are traceable below the Holocene strata as mentioned in this paper.

Holocene Depositional Patterns, Neotectonics and Sundarban Mangroves in the Western Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used radiocarbon-dated cores to distinguish Holocene deltaic and underlying transgressive units and late Pleistocene alluvial deposits in the western Ganges-Brahmaputra delta.

The palynology of mangroves on a prograded shore, Princess Charlotte Bay, North Queensland, Australia
TL;DR: Mangrove palynological investigations at Princess Charlotte Bay indicate that major mangrove and salt marsh taxa display highly localized pollen dispersal, despite the potential for tidal redistribution, and may be highly effective in the study of vegetation-geomorphic process interaction.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt is made to analyse and reclassify the Tidal swamp forests is greater detail but adhering to the original framework of Champion and Seth (1968).
