The Ganges River, one of the largest rivers on Earth, experienced a massive change in its course approximately 2,500 years ago due to a significant earthquake. This event, previously undocumented, had a profound impact on the surrounding regions. A recent study published in Nature Communications shed light on this seismic-driven avulsion, highlighting the vulnerability of

Barrier islands play a crucial role in protecting coastlines from the direct impacts of storms and sea-level rise. Composed of constantly shifting sands, they act as a buffer between the open ocean and the landward areas. These sandy landforms are essential for absorbing the energy from waves and tides, thus safeguarding the mainland from erosion
