Tectonic controls on channel migration and flood hazards in the frontal Mishmi fold belt, Eastern Himalaya, Northeast India

Key Points

• Channel migration occurs due to tectonic controls in the Mishmi fold belt, affecting local flood hazards.
• The study identifies significant relationships between tectonic activities and river dynamics over time.
• Observational analysis across Northeast India shows distinct patterns of channel migration influenced by geological factors.
• Understanding these processes may enable better risk management strategies for flood hazards in the region.
