The Ganges-Brahmaputra sediment-dispersal system from Google Earth imagery (Map data: SIO, NOAA, U.S. Navy, NGA, GEBCO; Image; Landsat/Copernicus). Solid white line outlines the combined Ganges-Brahmaputra contributing drainage area. Light blue colors along the delta front roughly correspond to the mud transport system that has produced a muddy subaqueous clinothem18. SoNG indicates the “Swatch of No Ground” modern shelf-penetrating canyon. Thin white dashed lines are post-Paleocene Bengal Fan thickness contours (in kilometers)17,29. The location of IODP Expedition 354 drill sites are shown within the Bay of Bengal, with specific core numbers shown in lower left inset (formal core numbers identified by U1454, U1455, etc.). SP = Shillong Plateau and IBR = Indo-Burman Range, with the location of IODP Expedition 362 drill sites on the Nicobar Fan as shown28.
