Luminescence Chronology of Terrace Development in the Upper Paraná River, Southeast Brazil
The Paraná River has been extensively studied in terms of hydrological and sedimentological characterization. However, the geological history of its fluvial plain is poorly understood due the lack of geochronological data. Most of the studies are focused

Landscape dynamics revealed by luminescence signals of feldspars from fluvial terraces [PDF]
AbstractLuminescence signals of quartz and feldspar minerals are widely used to determine the burial age of Quaternary sediments. Although luminescence signals bleach rapidly with sunlight exposure, incomplete bleaching may affect luminescence ages, in particular in fluvial settings where an unbleached remnant signal is commonly encountered in modern ...

A Mechanism of Formaticn of Fluvial Terraces
Two examples of microtopography of fluvial terrace plains are described from the River Shinano, central Japan (Figs. 2 and 3). The topography consists of narrow, shallow depression beneath the backward scarp, and of low swells in front of the depression. They are regarded as abandoned channels and old meander-channel bars, respectively. Another example

Aeolian processes records within last glacial limit are as based on the Płock Basin case (Central Poland) [PDF]
Formation of dunes in the Płock Basin of the Vistula River valley in Central Poland is connected with the aeolian processes that occurred within the European Sand Belt during the Late Pleistocene.

The heavy minerals and the varietal characteristics of clinopyroxene grains (CPx) in alluvial deposits and other surficial formations located on the Loire-Seine interfluve show that no Loire-Seine connection has occurred since at least the Upper Pliocene.

Morphostratigraphy of the Sázava river terraces in the Bohemian Massif
The results of geomorphological research into the Sazava river terraces are presented. This terrace system is characteristic by its variable structure which is conditioned by specific hydrodynamic processes that existed during the late Cenozoic evolution

Extension of the Upper Yellow River into the Tibet Plateau: Review and New Data
The Wufo Basin at the margin of the northeastern Tibet Plateau connects the upstream reaches of the Yellow River with the lowland catchment downstream, and the fluvial terrace sequence in this basin provides crucial clues to understand the evolution ...

Palaeochannels of the upper central Murray and lower Goulburn rivers, southeastern Australia
Palaeochannel systems are characteristic of alluvial plains across large parts of the Australian continent, but their evolution and modes of formation are still only partly understood.
