A number of ancient salty lakes are found in the basin, including the famous Great Salt Lake of Utah. The rivers here do not flow toward the sea and most of them are shallow and salty. Many flow into the Great Salt Lake. This land receives little rainfall. Much of it is desert. Deat...

Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flow travelling >1,130 km whilst acceleratin...

The Holocene delta sequence is up to 90 m thick and its sediments are primarily supplied by two of Earth’s largest rivers – the Ganges and Brahmaputra31. In the central delta plain, ~45 km south of the modern Ganges River, the scar of a 1.0–1.7 km-wide meandering paleo...
