Enhancing the Identification and Mapping of Fluvial Terraces Combining Geomorphological Field Survey with Land-Surface Quantitative Analysis [PDF]
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 ...

Landscape dynamics revealed by luminescence signals of feldspars from fluvial terraces [PDF]
Luminescence 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 ...

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 ...

Development of Pleistocene Fluvial Terraces on the Eastern Frontal Sector of the Southern Apennines Chain, Italy [PDF]
The investigation of Pleistocene fluvial terraces in the small river valley of the Pescogrosso Stream and surrounding areas has shown a complex and positive location for the study of a fluvial catchment development.

Quaternary fluvial terraces of the Tiber Valley: geochronologic and geometric constraints on the back-arc magmatism-related uplift in central Italy [PDF]
Through a geomorphological study relying on statistically assessed classes of hilltop elevations, we reconstruct a suite of paleo-surfaces along the Tiber River Valley north of Rome that we identify as fluvial terraces formed by interplay between global ...

Geomorphology of the Po Fluvial Terraces in Turin Deduced by New Subsoil Data (NW Italy) [PDF]
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 ...

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,

The Sendai river terraces monitored the co-seismic mega-thrusting [PDF]
We conducted a detailed geological survey of the Sendai region, covering an area of 100 × 50 km. Our survey focused on accurately mapping river terraces, identifying the source volcanoes responsible for intercalated tephras, and locating the Nagamachi ...

The river Dniester valley: a long record of late-Cenozoic fluvial evolution within the Eastern Carpathian foreland and East European Platform margin [PDF]
The Dniester valley is a spectacular example of a degrading bedrock fluvial system at the contact between the East European platform and the Carpathian orogen. This study is based upon a combined lithofacies–architecture–morphological study.
