  abstract = {{T}he subsidence of the {G}anges-{B}rahmaputra-{M}eghna {D}elta ({GBMD}) drastically increases the adverse impacts of coastal flooding and exacerbates the vulnerability of populations from ongoing rapid sea level rise. {W}e focus here on estimating the present-day subsidence rates induced by the loading of sediments continuously deposited within the {GBMD} over the past 11,000 years. {B}y constructing a realistic {GBMD} 3-{D} numerical model with laterally variable mantle and lithospheric structure, we demonstrate for the first time that the presence of the strong {I}ndian {C}raton and the weakened {I}ndo-{B}urma margin results in significant amplification of subsidence driven by sediment loading in the eastern part of the delta, where the population density is the highest (>1,000 habitants per km(2)). {A}lthough uncertainties remain regarding the amplitude of subsidence, the rate estimates (2-3 mm/year) are found to be comparable to the present-day global mean sea level rise.},
