abstract = "Based on two-dimensional planform data on channel area and distance, interpreted from non-sequential snapshots of the Google Earth satellite imagery, the main objective of this study is to analyze spatial variations in morphological instabilities in major rivers of Bangladesh. The results indicate that while riverbank erosion is a pervasive problem in all of the major rivers of Bangladesh, there are significant spatial variations in densities of channel bars from one river section to another. It further relates such channel instabilities to longer-term lateral channel migration responsible for successive bank erosion and accumulation of charlands and floodplains.",
