There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Celine GrallSubsidence and Relative Sea Level History in the Ganges Delta and Other Large Delta Plains
The subsidence and the relative sea level history in the world largest delta plain, the Ganges Delta will be addressed in this presentation.
Results that will be presented include the first stratigraphic reconstruction of the Holocene relative sea level history in this region, numerical modelling that aims to quantify the Holocene subsidence driving forces and a quick comparison between the Holocene subsidence rates and the present shoreline migration. This will give us the opportunity to open the discussion about subsidence driving forces in other large delta plains and the negative impact that human modification may have on subsidence and relative sea level in large delta plains.
