The Sylhet Limestone drops ... indicating the presence of thick continental crust. East of the hinge zone the great thickness of sediments indicates that the crust is greatly thinned or oceanic ... The enormous supply of sediments provided by the Himalayan collision fed the [Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD)] and has produced ~400 km of progradation of the shelf edge since the Eocene ...

Bowden 2003, p. 39: "Many of [Bangladesh's] people depend on the delta for their survival. Two-thirds of Bangladeshis work in agriculture and grow crops on the fertile delta floodplains. Jute fiber, used to make twine and sacking, is Bangladesh's main export crop. Tea, wheat, rice, beans, sugarcane, and fruits are grown." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey. Chicago: Heinemann-Raintree Library. ISBN 978-0739860700.
Bowden 2003, p. 44: "Fishing has played a part in the lives of Bangladeshi people for a long time ... Fish is particularly important in Bangladesh, where it provides the main source of protein in the diet of many people ... Shrimp are farmed in large containers or cages that are submerged in the open water. They are mainly sold for export." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey.

Bowden 2003, p. 41: "Gas reserves ... lie under the delta region and offshore in the Bay of Bengal. Important discoveries were made during the 1990s, and several major oil companies have invested in gas exploration in Bangladesh." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey. Chicago: Heinemann-Raintree Library. ISBN 978-0739860700.
Bowden 2003, p. 43: "In 1970 Bangladesh suffered the world's worst recorded cyclone, when about 500,000 people were killed. The last bad cyclone to strike Bangladesh was in 1991. It killed 139,000 people." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey. Chicago: Heinemann-Raintree Library. ISBN 978-0739860700.
Bowden 2003, p. 40: "In 1998 ... About one thousand people were killed, and more than 30 million were left homeless by floods ... The entire rice crop was ruined, and the government asked for almost $900 million dollars of aid to help it feed and rehouse its people." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey. Chicago: Heinemann-Raintree Library. ISBN 978-0739860700.
Bowden 2003, p. 44-45: "The greatest change Bangladesh and its people may face in the coming years will probably be the threat of global warming ... One of the likely results of global warming is a gradual rise in sea levels. This could be 1.6 feet (0.49 meters) by 2100. That might not sound like very much, but it would mean that 6 million Bangladeshis would lose their homes." Bowden, Rob (2003). The Ganges. A River Journey. Chicago: Heinemann-Raintree Library.
