    This holistic book covers the richest area in North East India in terms of both explored and foreseen reserves of fossil fuels and other natural resources. Using a multidisciplinary approach, GIS, and geospatial data gathered from different case studies included, this book helps readers develop a thorough understanding of a highly dynamic big river, the Brahmaputra, and use it as a comprehensive resource for further understanding the science of rivers. It discusses the causal factors of decadal-scale fluvial dynamics, the nature of fluvial dynamics, lateral variability of the older flood plains and neotectonics in the shallow subsurface, and the overall trend of basin evolution at different depths.

    Author Biography

    Siddhartha Kumar Lahiri is an associate professor and coordinator at the Department of Applied Geology in Dibrugarh University, Assam, India. He joined the ONGC as a Surface Geophysicist in 1985 to explore basin scale oil prospects in the Brahmaputra and Barak valleys of Assam. In 1993, he joined Dibrugarh University, India, as a faculty member and he was subsequently instrumental in developing the Applied Geophysics Program at the university. He earned his PhD from IIT Kanpur on basin evolution, morpho-tectonics and fluvial processes in the Brahmaputra River system. Presently, he is engaged with connecting surface processes with different scales of subsurface geophysics.
