1. How do extreme events (e.g. enhanced monsoon storms, glacial lake outburst floods, earthquakes etc) influence the dispersal and transport of coarse sediment in the Indo-Gangetic Plain?
2. How does grain size and shape influence river mobility?
3. Does natural and anthropogenic fluvial geomorphic change influence flood risk?
4. How sustainable is fluvial gravel mining?
