“…However, mixing between these two disparate sources means they tend to homogenize discrete records of tectonic, climate, and geomorphic interactions related to development of the Himalayan orogen (e.g., Blum et al, 2018). In contrast, exhumed Neogene sedimentary rocks within the IBR primarily record the late Cenozoic progradation of the ancestral Brahmaputra delta only (Govin, Najman, Copley, et al, 2018;Sincavage et al, 2020), and thus preserve a more direct record of changes in upstream allogenic forcings related to development of the eastern Himalaya and Tibet (e.g., Lang et al, 2016;Najman et al, 2008). Over the past decade, multiple studies of IBR stratigraphy have renewed interest in the regional stratigraphic correlation of IBR sedimentary units to the more proximal Himalayan foreland sequences of the Siwalik Group (Cina et al, 2009;Chirouze et al, 2013;Govin, Najman, Copley, et al, 2018, Govin, Najman, Dupont-Nivet, et al, 2018Lang et al, 2016) as well as the Bengal and Nicobar fans (Bergmann et al, 2020;Blum et al, 2018;Pickering, Carter, et al, 2020;Pickering, Pouderoux, et al, 2020) to reconstruct late Cenozoic changes in tectonic and climate signals within the Brahmaputra watershed.…”
