Fluvial terraces along the Tama River, Kanto district.
The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1990 The Tama River flows from the Kanto Mountains, 1, 000 to 2, 000 meters high, and across the Kanto Plain into Tokyo Bay. Fluvial terraces from the Late Pleistocene are well developed along the river. They are classified into four groups according to the differences in the relative height above the river floor and in the tephra-cover.

Boreas, EarlyView.The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Revista Caatinga, 2010 Concerning the different plant physiognomies of Brazilian semi-arid, the riparian vegetation is the least studied. With reference to this, there is a gap in comprehension of the influence of environments heterogeneity on the flora distribution.

Formation of Box Canyon, Idaho, by megaflood: implications for seepage erosion on Earth and Mars [PDF]
, 2008 Amphitheater- headed canyons have been used as diagnostic indicators of erosion by groundwater seepage, which has important implications for landscape evolution on Earth and astrobiology on Mars.

Unravelling the evolution of the Frébouge polygenetic cone in Val Ferret (Mont Blanc Massif)
Boreas, EarlyView.Proglacial settings in the Alps are typically polygenetic, often characterized by a complex and discontinuous interplay between glacial, fluvial and gravitational processes. These processes yield high volumes of sediments, which usually exceed their transportation capacity.

Floodplain environmental change during the younger dryas and holocene: Evidence from the lower kennet valley, south central England [PDF]
, 2006 Many lowland rivers across northwest Europe exhibit broadly similar behavioural responses to glacial-interglacial transitions and landscape development. Difficulties exist in assessing these, largely because the evidence from many rivers remains limited

Boreas, EarlyView.The last (Wisconsinan) glacial period was punctuated in North America by two glacial maxima, known as the Early and Late Wisconsinan glaciations. In Alaska, these maxima and their subsequent retreats have been the object of dating efforts to reconstruct local climatic events and compare them to global trends.

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

Using Optically Stimulated Luminescence to Unravel Sedimentary Processes of the Usumacinta and Grijalva Rivers (SE Mexico) [PDF]
, 2012 This report provides an optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) chronology for sediment collected through terrace deposits of the Usumacinta and Grijalva rivers in SE Mexico.

Boreas, EarlyView.Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.
