0623766 and 0623237Giosan and MullenbachAbstractThe PIs will participate in an already funded cruise to investigate the shelf of the Indus Delta. The objective is to learn how in its early stages the subaqueous delta developed overcoming rapid sea-level rise, due to highly increased sediment flux in the deglacial phase following the last glacial maximum. The PIs will also investigate the effect of upstream damming on the delta for the last half century. The study will provide new information on sediment dispersal system on a major river of the world and how climate and sediment input, driven by tectonics, influences the deltaic architecture. Broader impacts include strong international collaboration with both UK and Pakistan and extensive educational efforts in the US and Pakistan.

0623766 和 0623237Giosan 和 Mullenbach 摘要 PI 将参加一项已经获得资助的巡航，以调查印度河三角洲的陆架。目的是了解水下三角洲在其早期阶段如何克服海平面的快速上升，这是由于末次盛冰期之后的冰消期沉积物通量大幅增加所致。 PI 还将调查过去半个世纪上游筑坝对三角洲的影响。该研究将提供有关世界主要河流的沉积物扩散系统以及构造驱动的气候和沉积物输入如何影响三角洲结构的新信息。更广泛的影响包括与英国和巴基斯坦的强有力的国际合作以及在美国和巴基斯坦的广泛教育工作。
