Abstract
The Brahmaputra is one of the largest alluvial rivers in the world characterized by frequent bank erosion leading to channel pattern changes and shifting of bank lines. This study was aimed at quantifying the changes of river course along the Brahmaputra for a period of different years and months. A course of about 56 kms has been studied using an integrated approach of Remote Sensing and GIS. The channel configuration of the Brahmaputra has been mapped for a period (1985-2018) using USGS and Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS C1 Level 2 satellite image respectively. The analysis of satellite data has provided not only channel configuration of the river system but also significant facts about the changes in river morphology, stability of the river banks and changes in the main channel.
