Modelling the impact of regional uplift and local tectonics on fluvial terrace preservation

Geomorphology, 2014
A terrace formation model (TERRACE) combined with a longitudinal river profile model (FLUVER) was used to simulate fluvial terrace formation and preservation in the northwest Iberian lower Miño River basin under the influence of three tectonic conditions; namely regional vertical uplift, local basin subsidence, and localised differential uplift.

Significance of Terrace Deposits in Fluvial Sequence Stratigraphy

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
The terrace deposits in a river valley are key records to the research of fluvial sequence stratigraphy. Terrace deposits and the basal sequence boundary comprise the half-cycle of base level fall, and the fluvial infillings belong to the half-cycle of base level rise.

Distribution and Forming Model of Fluvial Terrace in the Huangshui Catchment and its Tectonic Indication

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2010
Abstract:The Huang Shui River, a main tributary of the Yellow River, crosses a series of tectonically subsided and uplifted areas that show different patterns of terrace formation. The distribution of fluvial terrace of the Huang Shui River is studied through topographic and sedimentologic terrace mapping.

The Causes of Fluvial Terraces Inland and Its Implication

2006 IEEE International Symposium on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2006
Terraces in tectonically active mountains and uplands record both tectonic uplift and climatic changes. The author discusses the methods of how to distinguish the role of both tectonic and climatic factors. Fluvial system in inland is a process of reaction between aggradation and incision controlled by tectonic movement or climate changes.

Fluvial terraces of the lower Susquehanna River

Geomorphology, 1993
Abstract Fluvial terraces of the lower Susquehanna River offer a unique opportunity to investigate the late stage geologic and geomorphic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic passive margin. Petrography and elevation distinguish and provide a basis for correlation of two groups of terraces, the upland terraces and lower terraces, through the Piedmont ...
