摘要：
A river channel terminates at the sea in the form of a delta. Recent research has reported the existence of marine channels and depositional environments. This has been further corroborated by the significant discoveries of oil and gas in deepwater. Such studies have raised several questions like: How do these channels originate deep in the ocean floor? Are these channels extensions of present-day onland river systems? The present communication presents a GIS-based analytical study of bathymetry and elevation to establish the relation between present-day onland river systems and marine channel systems in the offshore west coast of India.
