This book explores the latest advances in our understanding of the evolution of the
Ganga-Brahmaputra delta examining the Damodar basin Bhagirathi-Hooghly basin and Jalangi
basin from historical quantitative and applied geomorphology perspectives. The evolution of
the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta is highly complex and remains poorly understood. To address that
gap this edited volume presents 11 research papers: the first seven chapters focus on the pure
geomorphology and geohydrology of the delta while the remaining four examine its applied
geomorphological aspects.The book offers a valuable guide for geologists geographers
hydrologists landscape ecologists environmentalists engineers planners and policy makers.
