This book by Rajendra Bhandari investigates the provenance, transport, and fate of organic matter and sediments in rivers originating from the Himalayan region in Nepal. The study focuses on understanding the high sediment and organic matter transfer due to active tectonics, steep slopes, and human activities in the area. It uses various scientific methods, including C:N ratios, lipid biomarkers, and lignin phenols, to characterize organic matter sources and their seasonal fluxes. Additionally, strontium and neodymium isotope data are analyzed to trace the provenance of sediments. The research also examines soil erosion rates using runoff plots and RUSLE modeling, highlighting the impact of land-use practices on erosion. The findings have significant implications for understanding climate change and the global carbon cycle.
