Abstract Many of the world′s largest river deltas are sinking due to sediment loading, compaction, and tectonics but also recently because of groundwater extraction, hydrocarbon extraction, and reduced aggradation. Little is known, however, about the full spatial variability of subsidence rates in c...

The Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna rivers converge in Bangladesh with an annual discharge second to the Amazon. Most of the flow occurs during the summer monsoon causing widespread flooding. The impounded water represents a large surface load whose effects can be observed in Gravity Recovery and Cl...

The set of active rivers of the Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) Delta in Bangladesh overlies an active plate boundary that continually modifies the landscape of the delta by deformation. The response of rivers to spatially variable subsidence, from tectonic tilting or other causes, has been thought ...

Invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPDs) remain the leading cause of vaccine-preventable childhood death, even though highly effective pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) are used in national immunization programs in many developing countries. Licensed PCVs currently cover only 13 of the over 90 ser...

Abstract The great 1897 Assam earthquake probably was associated with underthrusting of the Indian subcontinent beneath the Shillong Plateau, and as such it absorbed part of India's convergence with the Himalaya. Seeber and Armbruster (1981) concluded that slip occurred on a fault that extended nort...

Abstract Subsurface deformation is a driver for river path selection when deformation rates become comparable to the autogenic mobility rate of rivers. Here we combine geomorphology, soil and sediment facies analyses, and geophysical data of the Late Quaternary sediments of the central Garo‐Rajmahal...

Earthquakes present severe hazards for people and economies and can be primary drivers of landscape change yet their impact to river-channel networks remains poorly known. Here we show evidence for an abrupt earthquake-triggered avulsion of the Ganges River at ~2.5 ka leading to relocation of the ma...

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infection caused by Rhinosporidium seeberi. Sporadic cases of rhinosporidiosis has been reported from many countries but is endemic in Southern India (Madurai, Ramnad, Rajapalayam and Sivaganga), Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. This disease commonly affec...

Earthquake preparation in Bangladesh is a conundrum, where crucial information is missing and investments often involve painful trade-offs.

Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous infectious disease caused by rhinosporidium seeberi that usually affects the nasal mucosa and ocular conjunctiva. Involvement of trachea ad bronchial tree is extremely rare. Few cases (8) have been reported in literature. We report a case of tracheal rhino...
