Edifice of Fluvial Terrace Flights, Stacks and Rows [PDF]
Geosciences, 2020 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

Landscape dynamics revealed by luminescence signals of feldspars from fluvial terraces. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 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 ...

Climate changes and the formation of fluvial terraces in central Amazonia inferred from landscape evolution modeling [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022 Climate changes have been considered an essential factor controlling the shaping of the recent alluvial landscapes in central Amazonia, with implications for explaining the biogeographic patterns in the region.

Alluvial channel response to environmental perturbations: fill-terrace formation and sediment-signal disruption [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2019 The sensitivity of fluvial systems to tectonic and climatic boundary conditions allows us to use the geomorphic and stratigraphic records as quantitative archives of past climatic and tectonic conditions. Thus, fluvial terraces that form on alluvial fans

Active folding of fluvial terraces across the Siwaliks Hills, Himalayas of central Nepal [PDF]
, 2000 We analyze geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub-Himalaya of central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin. The Main Frontal Thrust fault (MFT), which marks the southern edge of the sub-Himalayan fold belt, is the only active ...

Millennial slip rate of the Longitudinal Valley fault from river terraces: Implications for convergence across the active suture of eastern Taiwan [PDF]
, 2006 The Longitudinal Valley fault is a key element in the active tectonics of Taiwan. It is the principal structure accommodating convergence across one of the two active sutures of the Taiwan orogeny.

Fluvial terraces of the northwest Iberian lower Miño River
Journal of Maps, 2013 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.

Luminescence Ages of Feldspar Contaminated Quartz from Fluvial Terrace Sediments [PDF]
Geochronometria, 2008 This study focuses on obtaining luminescence ages in feldspar contaminated quartz from well-developed fluvial terraces of the Yesilirmak (Iris) river located inside the eastern North Anatolian Fault Shear Zone (NAFZ). We applied a technique based on conventional single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol, modified with an IR pre-treatment to ...
