1 Sedimentary evolution and sequence stratigraphy of Quaternary shelf deposits.

2 Distribution, architecture, genesis and triggering mechanisms of event beds

(1) Sediment gravity flow deposits i.e. turbidite, debrite and hybrid event beds;

(2) Storm deposits i.e. washover deposits preserved in barrier-lagoon system;

(3) Flood deposits i.e. flood history reconstruction using Ganges River terraces.
