Fluvial Terraces

Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2022
Synopsis Fluvial terraces are landforms and deposits that integrate tectonic, climatic, and geomorphic processes at the watershed scale. Terraces attest to a fundamental unsteadiness in the rate of vertical incision of a channel as it carves its valley ...

Bedrock fluvial incision and longitudinal profile development over geologic time scales determined by fluvial terraces

1998
Fluvial terraces preserve the history of river incision into bedrock over geologic time scales. In this paper we use terraces and a comparison of terrace longitudinal profiles to stream longitudinal profiles to develop a conceptual model of bedrock fluvial incision in diverse geologic, tectonic, and climatic settings.

Holocene fluvial terraces reveal landscape changes in the headwater streams of the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mountains, Czechia

, 2021
Fluvial terraces of headwater streams in mountainous forested areas provide important insight into the development of sensitive fluvial system in response to natural and anthropogenic changes.

Climate-driven formation of fluvial terraces across the Tibetan Plateau since 200 ka: A review

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2020
The causes of terrace formation in active orogenic belts have long been studied. Here, we present a synthesis of 147 available papers on the ages of Quaternary terraces within the Tibetan Plateau and along the surrounding orogenic belts.

10Be and OSL dating of Pleistocene fluvial terraces along the Hongshuiba River: Constraints on tectonic and climatic drivers for fluvial downcutting across the NE Tibetan Plateau margin, China

, 2020
Accurate geochronologic constraints of fluvial surfaces along tectonically active mountain fronts can help clarify river responses to tectonic uplift and rapid climate change.

Reconstructing the incision of the Lancang River (Upper Mekong) in southeastern Tibet below its prominent knickzone using fluvial terraces and transient tributary profiles

, 2020
The Lancang River (Upper Mekong) is a key large river in Asia with a prominent knickzone over 500 km distance (27.5-30.7°N), as it descends the southeastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau.
