Morphostratigraphical correlation of river terraces in the central part of the Bohemian Massif with the European stratigraphical classification of the QuaternarY

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2015
The results of geomorphological research, focused on identification of larger remains of fluvial terrace sedimentary sequences in the Želivka, Sázava, Berounka, Vltava and Labe river-drainage basins in the Bohemian Massif, are presented.

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.

Aeolian processes records within last glacial limit are as based on the Płock Basin case (Central Poland) [PDF]

Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2018
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.

Quantification of three-dimensional folding using fluvial terraces: A case study from the Mushi anticline, northern margin of the Chinese Pamir

, 2013
Fold deformation in three dimensions involves shortening, uplift, and lateral growth. Fluvial terraces represent strain markers that have been widely applied to constrain a fold's shortening and uplift.

Contribution à l'étude des liaisons Loire-Seine : mise en évidence par l'étude des minéraux lourds de l'antécédence de la Loire en Sologne (Bassin Parisien, France)

Physio-Géo, 2011
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

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2021
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

Quaternary, 2021
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

Journal of Maps
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.

Geomorphometric delineation of floodplains and terraces from objectively defined topographic thresholds [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017
Floodplain and terrace features can provide information about current and past fluvial processes, including channel response to varying discharge and sediment flux, sediment storage, and the climatic or tectonic history of a catchment.
