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.

Holocene monsoonal dynamics and fluvial terrace formation in the northwest Himalaya India
Geology, 2006 Aluminum-26 and beryllium-10 surface exposure dating on cut-and-fill river-terrace surfaces from the lower Sutlej Valley (northwest Himalaya) documents the close link between Indian Summer Monsoon (ISM) oscillations and intervals of enhanced fluvial ...

On the potential for regolith control of fluvial terrace formation in semi-arid escarpments [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2016 Cut–fill terraces occur throughout the western Andes, where they have been associated with pluvial episodes on the Altiplano. The mechanism relating increased rainfall to sedimentation is, however, not well understood. Here, we apply a hillslope sediment

Climate changes and the formation of fluvial terraces in central Amazonia [PDF]
, 2021 Abstract. Climate changes have been considered as an essential factor controlling the shaping of the recent alluvial landscapes in central Amazonia, with implications for explaining the biogeographic patterns in the region. This landscape is characterized by wide floodplains and various terrace levels at different elevations.

Terrace reconstruction and long profile projection: a case study from the Solent river system near Southampton, England [PDF]
, 2012 River terrace sequences are important frameworks for archaeological evidence and as such it is important to produce robust correlations between what are often fragmentary remnants of ancient terraces.

Towards a budget approach to Pleistocene terraces: preliminary studies using the River Exe in South West England, UK [PDF]
, 2009 This paper presents a first approach to using a sediment budget methodology for paired terrace staircase sediments in SW England. Although a budget approach has become firmly established in Holocene fluvial studies, it has not been used in Pleistocene ...

Diverse Responses of Alluvial Rivers to Periodic Environmental Change
Geophysical 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 ...

Integrated chronological control on an archaeologically significant Pleistocene river terrace sequence: the Thames-Medway, eastern Essex, England [PDF]
, 2012 Late Middle Pleistocene Thames-Medway deposits in eastern Essex comprise both large expanses of Palaeolithic artefact-bearing river sands/gravels and deep channels infilled with thick sequences of fossiliferous fine-grained estuarine sediments that yield
