Effects of Erosion and Deposition on Constraining Vertical Slip Rates of Thrust Faults: A Case Study of the Minle–Damaying Fault in the North Qilian Shan, NE Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
The height of a thrust-fault scarp on a fluvial terrace would be modified due to erosion and deposition, and these surface processes can also influence the dating of terraces.

Evidence of Quaternary tectonics along Río Grande valley, southern Malargüe fold and thrust belt, Mendoza, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Malargüe fold and thrust belt is developed in the Argentinian Andes between 34° and 37° S, through the tectonic inversion of Upper Triassic and Lower Jurassic depocenters of the Neuquén Basin, with an uplift history since the Cretaceous.

Diverse Responses of Alluvial Rivers to Periodic Environmental Change

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Alluvial rivers aggrade, incise, and adjust their sediment‐transport rates in response to changing sediment and water supply. Fluvial landforms, such as river terraces, and downstream stratigraphic archives may therefore record information about past ...

Active folding of fluvial terraces across the Siwaliks Hills, Himalayas of central Nepal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We analyze geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub-Himalaya of central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin. The Main Frontal Thrust fault (MFT), which marks the southern edge of the sub-Himalayan fold belt, is the only active ...

Fluvial terraces of the northwest Iberian lower Miño River

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2013
A new fluvial terrace map with a tectonic framework for the northwest Iberian lower Miño River is presented. It is the first integrated map to cover the entire lower, 67-km reach of the Miño River, and to cover both the Spanish and Portuguese side of the river.

Late Quaternary Drainage Rearrangement Prevents the Vegetation Development in the La Tatacoa Intermontane Basin of the Colombian Andes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Tatacoa Desert (TD) is a Cenozoic basin between the Central and Eastern Cordilleras in the southern Colombian Andes. Its sparse vegetation and Badlands morphology resemble a semi-arid environment, despite receiving ∼1,300 mm of mean annual ...

Luminescence Ages of Feldspar Contaminated Quartz from Fluvial Terrace Sediments [PDF]

open access: yesGeochronometria, 2008
This study focuses on obtaining luminescence ages in feldspar contaminated quartz from well-developed fluvial terraces of the Yesilirmak (Iris) river located inside the eastern North Anatolian Fault Shear Zone (NAFZ). We applied a technique based on conventional single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol, modified with an IR pre-treatment to ...

Ostracode-based aminostratigraphy and aminochronology of a tufa system in central Spain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In the Priego area, central Spain, extensive tufa deposits are located in three small tributaries located at the head of the 1000 kmlong Tagus River. The deposits are originated after karst-origin running waters emerged from the confines of the canyons ...

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces: Implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny.

Substratum sedimentology and topography of two riparian peat bogs in the Bieszczady Mountains (Carpathians) [PDF]

open access: yesMires and Peat, 2020
The valley of the upper course of the San River in the Bieszczady Wysokie mountain range is, after the Orawa-Nowy Targ Basin, the area with the largest number of peat bogs in the Polish Carpathians.
