Edifice of Fluvial Terrace Flights, Stacks and Rows [PDF]
Geosciences, 2020 The paper presents a review of the architecture and structures of river deposits in valleys. A new terminology for some features is included in this review. It presents principles of the fluvial systems with morphological river terraces and fluments (new

Sporepolinic morphology of fluvial terrace sediments in the Western Amazon [PDF]
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2019 Morphological descriptions were made for pollen grains and spores extracted from samples from three sedimentary sections - Chandless 1, Purus 10 and Purus 30 - from fluvial terraces on the Chandless and Purus rivers, Acre State, Brazil.

A multi-proxy assessment of terrace formation in the lower Trinity River valley, Texas [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 A proposed null hypothesis for fluvial terrace formation is that internally generated or autogenic processes, such as lateral migration and river-bend cutoff, produce variabilities in channel incision that lead to the abandonment of floodplain segments ...

Alluvial channel response to environmental perturbations: fill-terrace formation and sediment-signal disruption [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 The sensitivity of fluvial systems to tectonic and climatic boundary conditions allows us to use the geomorphic and stratigraphic records as quantitative archives of past climatic and tectonic conditions. Thus, fluvial terraces that form on alluvial fans

Quaternary, 2023 Fluvial terrace formation is a complex process governed by the interplay of climatic and tectonic forcings. From a climatic perspective, an incision is usually related to climatic transitions, while valley aggradation is attributed to glacial periods. We

Climate changes and the formation of fluvial terraces in central Amazonia inferred from landscape evolution modeling [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Climate changes have been considered an essential factor controlling the shaping of the recent alluvial landscapes in central Amazonia, with implications for explaining the biogeographic patterns in the region.
