Frequent Mass Movements From Glacial and Lahar Terraces, Controlled by Both Hillslope Characteristics and Fluvial Erosion, are an Important Sediment Source to Puget Sound Rivers

Water Resources Research, 2021
Mass movements from glacial and lahar terraces in the middle and lower reaches of rivers draining the Washington Cascade Range to Puget Sound may represent a substantial but poorly quantified portion of those rivers' sediment supply and pose significant ...

Fluvial terraces as quantitative markers of late Quaternary detachment folding and creeping thrust faulting in the Peruvian Huallaga basin

, 2020
In the western Huallaga basin, located in the Peruvian Subandes, a series of nine fluvial terraces with elevations of up to 160 m above current floodplain level (+FP) were formed against the Biabo anticline.

Chronosequence in Almar River Fluvial‐Terrace Soil

Soil Science Society of America Journal, 1994
Abstract The aim of this work was to analyze how soils formed fundamentally from the erosion of granites evolve under a subhumid Mediterranean climate as a function of age. Their evolution was evaluated by means of the changes in components and properties, as well as the use of developmental indices.

Spatial variations of river incision rate in the northern Chinese Tian Shan range derived from late Quaternary fluvial terraces

, 2020
The rate of erosion is critical for characterizing landscape evolution and understanding the interactions between tectonic activity, climate, and surface processes in active orogenic belts.

Fluvial terraces of the lower Susquehanna River

Geomorphology, 1993
Abstract Fluvial terraces of the lower Susquehanna River offer a unique opportunity to investigate the late stage geologic and geomorphic evolution of the U.S. Atlantic passive margin. Petrography and elevation distinguish and provide a basis for correlation of two groups of terraces, the upland terraces and lower terraces, through the Piedmont ...

Significance of Terrace Deposits in Fluvial Sequence Stratigraphy

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
The terrace deposits in a river valley are key records to the research of fluvial sequence stratigraphy. Terrace deposits and the basal sequence boundary comprise the half-cycle of base level fall, and the fluvial infillings belong to the half-cycle of base level rise.

Rates of Holocene normal faulting along the Dong Co fault in central Tibet, based on 14C dating of displaced fluvial terraces

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 2019
Crustal extension along north-south graben characterizes active deformation within the central Tibetan Plateau. However, the geodynamic significance of these fault systems remains uncertain, in part reflecting sparse data regarding the onset of extension,

Cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces, Fremont River, Utah

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 1997
Absolute dating of river terraces can yield long-term incision rates, clarify the role of climate in setting times of aggradation and incision, and establish the rates of pedogenic processes. While surface exposure dating using cosmogenic 10Be and 26Al would seem to be an ideal dating method, the surfaces are composed of individual clasts, each with ...

Constraints on deformation kinematics across the Yumu Shan, NE Tibetan Plateau, based on fluvial terraces

Global and Planetary Change, 2019
In compressive ranges, the kinematics of thrusts and related folds are the key to understanding mountain building processes; however, relatively little attention has been paid to folding on the hanging-wall of a thrust fault which has broken the surface.

The Causes of Fluvial Terraces Inland and Its Implication

2006 IEEE International Symposium on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2006
Terraces in tectonically active mountains and uplands record both tectonic uplift and climatic changes. The author discusses the methods of how to distinguish the role of both tectonic and climatic factors. Fluvial system in inland is a process of reaction between aggradation and incision controlled by tectonic movement or climate changes.
