Late Quaternary sediments of the Bengal basin contain a history of river switching and climate change as revealed from sand-and clay-size mineralogy of boreholes and modern riverbed grabs. Epidote to garnet ratios (E/G) in sand fraction sediments are diagnostic of source, with high ( > 1) E/G indica
The Yamuna river is the largest tributary of the Ganges river system. It originates in the Himalayas and flows through a varied geological terrain encompassing a large basin area. Metals Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu in different chemical fractions of suspended sediments such as exchangeable, carbonates, Fe-Mn
In spite of the important relationship between sediment particle size and the transport/deposition of adsorbed pollutants in fluvial systems, little information regarding the size characteristics of suspended sediment transported by southern Ontario Great Lakes tributaries is currently available. Th
