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.

Pedogenesis of Fluvial Terrace Soils Related to Geomorphic Processes in Central Taiwan

Land, 2023
Pedogenetic features of the soils could be a proxy for revealing the landform surface processes. Our work first analyzed the particle size distributions and lithological discontinuities (LDs) of the soils in the midstream of the Zoushui River, central ...

Morphostratigraphy of river terraces in the Eger valley (Czechia) focused on the Smrčiny Mountains, the Chebská pánev Basin and the Sokolovská pánev Basin

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2019
The Eger (Ohře) River terraces originated in varied morphotectonic and climate-morphogenetic conditions that existed during the late Cenozoic evolution of the western part of the Bohemian Massif.

Des diagnostics basés sur le calcul des probabilités en vallée de l’Ariège

Archéopages, 2022
The legal statutes of diagnostic test trenches often contain a percentage of surface to be tested, and leaves choice of method to the team in the field. The technique consisting in regular and systematic soundings developed in northern France to respond ...

A revised terrace stratigraphy and chronology for the Little Ouse River as a framework for interpreting the late Lower and early Middle Palaeolithic of central East Anglia, UK

Quaternary Environments and Humans
The Breckland of central East Anglia has a Pleistocene geological sequence spanning c. 1 million years, providing a framework for assessing changes in human technology and behaviour within a single changing palaeolandscape.

Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession, northern slope of Torino Hill [PDF]

Quaternary International, 2007
Abstract A Pleistocene terraced fluvial succession is found on the northern slope of the Torino Hill. This succession consists of many relics of flat surfaces, separated by scarps, often associated with sandy and silty deposits, perched from 30 to 400 m on the Po Plain. Terraced surfaces at high levels are more deformed, dissected and mostly deprived

Effects of Provenance, Transport Processes and Chemical Weathering on Heavy Mineral Composition: A Case Study From the Songhua River Drainage, NE China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Understanding the heavy mineral composition of the Songhua River basin in NE China and the influencing factors (e.g., provenance, transport processes and chemical weathering) is crucial for the study of both the source-to-sink processes and the drainage ...

The Response of the Rivers of NW Greece to Late Quaternary Neotectonics, as Interpreted from Detrital Petrology

Geosciences, 2022
The modern drainage systems of the fold and thrust belt of the external Hellenide orogen of NW Greece are principally orogen-parallel. Late Quaternary changes in river courses have resulted from neotectonic deformation associated with the Katouna–Stamna ...

Paleoglacial footprint and fluvial terraces of the Shaluli Shan, SE Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Maps, 2021
This study provides mapping of glacial and fluvial geomorphology in the Shaluli Shan region on the eastern margin of the south-eastern Tibetan Plateau. Based on TanDEM-X 12 m elevation data and GoogleEarth imagery, glacial valleys, ice-marginal moraines,
