Processes conducive to the release and transport of arsenic into aquifers of Bangladesh

Verified

Matthew L. Polizzotto, Charles F. Harvey, S.R. Sutton, Scott Fendorf

Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesYear: 2005Citations: 212

Arsenic is a contaminant in the groundwater of Holocene aquifers in Bangladesh, where approximately 57 million people drink water with arsenic levels exceeding the limits set by the World Health Organization. Although arsenic is native to the sediments, the means by which it is released to groundwat...

Validation of climate model-inferred regional temperature change for late-glacial Europe

Verified

Oliver Heiri, Stephen J. Brooks, H. Renssen, Alan Bedford et al.

Journal: Nature CommunicationsYear: 2014Citations: 203

Comparisons of climate model hindcasts with independent proxy data are essential for assessing model performance in non-analogue situations. However, standardized palaeoclimate data sets for assessing the spatial pattern of past climatic change across continents are lacking for some of the most dyna...

Water level changes, subsidence, and sea level rise in the Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta

Verified

M. Becker, Fabrice Papa, Mikhaïl Karpytchev, C. Delebecque et al.

Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesYear: 2020Citations: 189

Being one of the most vulnerable regions in the world, the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna delta presents a major challenge for climate change adaptation of nearly 200 million inhabitants. It is often considered as a delta mostly exposed to sea-level rise and exacerbated by land subsidence, even if the lo...

Groundwater storage changes in the Tibetan Plateau and adjacent areas revealed from GRACE satellite gravity data

Verified

Longwei Xiang, Hansheng Wang, Holger Steffen, Patrick Wu et al.

Journal: Earth and Planetary Science LettersYear: 2016Citations: 189

Understanding groundwater storage (GWS) changes is vital to the utilization and control of water resources in the Tibetan Plateau. However, well level observations are rare in this big area, and reliable hydrology models including GWS are not available. We use hydro-geodesy to quantitate GWS changes...

Historical Changes in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta Front

Verified

Mead A. Allison

Journal: Journal of Coastal ResearchYear: 1998Citations: 186

Detailed early chartmaking by the British East India Company and the Royal Navy in India and present-day Bangladesh provide one of the most accurate databases available to track the evolution of a major delta front over the last 200 years. Digital databases of shoreline position and shallow bathymet...

Targeting low-arsenic aquifers in Matlab Upazila, Southeastern Bangladesh

Verified

Mattias von Brömssen, Md. Jakariya, Prosun Bhattacharya, Kazi Matin Ahmed et al.

Journal: The Science of The Total EnvironmentYear: 2006Citations: 181

Groundwater with high concentration of geogenic arsenic (As) occurs extensively in the Holocene alluvial aquifers of Bangladesh. Local drillers in Matlab Upazilla are constructing deeper tubewells than in the recent past, primarily because of low concentrations of dissolved Fe and As. Locally a thic...

Exhumation and uplift of the Shillong plateau and its influence on the eastern Himalayas: New constraints from apatite and zircon (U‐Th‐[Sm])/He and apatite fission track analyses

Verified

S. Biswas, Isabelle Coutand, Djordje Grujić, Christian Hager et al.

Journal: TectonicsYear: 2007Citations: 178

The Shillong plateau is the only raised topography in the foreland of the Himalayas. Located on the trajectory of the Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM), the plateau perturbs the regional distribution of precipitation. As such, the Shillong plateau‐eastern Himalaya‐ISM is a unique system to quantify the co...

Hydrogeological typologies of the Indo-Gangetic basin alluvial aquifer, South Asia

Verified

H.C. Bonsor, Alan MacDonald, Kazi Matin Ahmed, W. G. Burgess et al.

Journal: Hydrogeology JournalYear: 2017Citations: 175

The Indo-Gangetic aquifer is one of the world's most important transboundary water resources, and the most heavily exploited aquifer in the world. To better understand the aquifer system, typologies have been characterized for the aquifer, which integrate existing datasets across the Indo-Gangetic c...
