Distribution of Organic Carbon in the Sediments of Brahmaputra River

摘要：

1 Introduction Himalayan erosion generates the largest sediment flux from a single continental drainage basin to the ocean(Galy et al.,2008).Among world rivers the Ganga(or Ganges) and Brahmaputra rank first for sediment transport(Sarin et al.,1989),with high erosion rates in the Himalayan range driving the high suspended sediment flux(Galy and France-Lanord,2001).The global importance of Corg flux associated with sediment transport in the G-B fluvial system has been highlighted in previous studies on the basis of the modern river or the sedimentary record characterizations.The annual sediment discharge is 400-600 × 106 T yr-1 for the Brahmaputra and 330-550 × 106 T yr-1 for the Ganga(River Survey Project,1996).
