Earth science: Volte-face in the Punjab
Philip A. Allen1
Abstract
Rivers are the great conveyor belts that carry sediment from mountains to the sea. In the Punjab — the Land of Five Rivers — a wholesale shift occurred in the past that re-routed sediment to different oceans.
Rivers don't come much bigger than the Ganges and the Indus, both of which drain the mighty Himalaya. However, as Clift and Blusztajn1 show in this issue (page 1001), size does not mean permanence.
