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.

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

Reference Module in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, 2019
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 ...

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.

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,

Single-grain OSL dating of fluvial terraces in the upper Hunter catchment, southeastern Australia

Quaternary Geochronology, 2019
Fluvial terraces in the upper Hunter catchment, southeastern Australia provide a long-term record of river activity in response to climate change in the late Quaternary. Single-grain optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating of quartz was applied in

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.

Coarse- versus fine-grain quartz OSL and cosmogenic 10 Be dating of deformed fluvial terraces on the northeast Pamir margin, northwest China

Quaternary Geochronology, 2018
Along the NE Pamir margin, flights of late Quaternary fluvial terraces span actively deforming fault-related folds. We present detailed results on two terraces dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and cosmogenic radionuclide 10 Be (CRN ...

Automatic detection and classification of marine and fluvial terraces using statistical and stochastic clustering methods

Geomorphology
Terrace landforms, including marine, fluvial, and lacustrine terraces, play a significant role in various geoscience fields as records of past relative water-level changes caused by climate and tectonic activity.
