Holocene Optimum: A time of massively increased sediment discharge for Asian Rivers
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This is one component of the Source to Sink Mini Lesson Set
This module is part of a larger set of mini-lessons that explores the variations in water and particulate mass flux from rivers that result from changing climate patterns and human activity in the Holocene. Long-period variations in runoff will be explored in this module on the Holocene Climatic Optimum, when intensification of the Southwest monsoon affected massively increased river discharge in South Asia. The exercise will detail the operation of the Asian monsoon and interpret stratigraphic evidence for increased sediment discharge during the Holocene Climatic Optimum using the Ganges-Brahmaputra as an example.
