A methodological approach to refining the identification and mapping of fluvial terraces has been applied, combining geomorphological field surveys with the computation and assessment of different morphometric parameters (local, statistical, and object ...

Edifice of Fluvial Terrace Flights, Stacks and Rows [PDF]
The paper presents a review of the architecture and structures of river deposits in valleys. A new terminology for some features is included in this review. It presents principles of the fluvial systems with morphological river terraces and fluments (new

The Turin fluvial terraces as evidence of the new Holocene setting of the Po River
A detailed geomorphological mapping of the Po River fluvial terraces into Turin was performed through a field survey. Although Turin is crossed by the Po River, most of the town is built on the extended alpine outwash fans linked to its tributaries ...

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 ...

Fluvial terraces of the northwest Iberian lower Miño River
A new fluvial terrace map with a tectonic framework for the northwest Iberian lower Miño River is presented. It is the first integrated map to cover the entire lower, 67-km reach of the Miño River, and to cover both the Spanish and Portuguese side of the river.

Many post-orogenic settings exhibit a rugged topography, but the underlying mechanisms driving topographic rejuvenation are poorly understood. For example, the U.S.

Genesis and Distribution of Low Fluvial Terraces Formed by Holocene Climate Pulses in Brazil
Low fluvial terraces present azonal spatialization, encompassing several geomorphological compartments and climate zones in Brazil. Their genesis is directly related to river dynamics. When influenced by allogenic forces, such as Holocene climate pulses,

Geomorphology of the Po Fluvial Terraces in Turin Deduced by New Subsoil Data (NW Italy)
Urban geomorphology is a theme of increasing interest over the last decades. The present research about the Turin geomorphology (NW Italy) was carried out based on the drilling of 40 boreholes, of which 34 were designed for the construction of a new ...

Late Pliocene-Pleistocene incision in the Ebro Basin (North Spain)
The Ebro Basin constitutes the central part of the southern foreland of the Pyrenees. It was endorheic during the Cenozoic and accumulated sediments. By the end of the Miocene, erosion and river incision reconnected the basin to the Mediterranean Sea ...

A multi-proxy assessment of terrace formation in the lower Trinity River valley, Texas [PDF]
A proposed null hypothesis for fluvial terrace formation is that internally generated or autogenic processes, such as lateral migration and river-bend cutoff, produce variabilities in channel incision that lead to the abandonment of floodplain segments ...
