Integrated chronological control on an archaeologically significant Pleistocene river terrace sequence: the Thames-Medway, eastern Essex, England [PDF]

, 2012
Late Middle Pleistocene Thames-Medway deposits in eastern Essex comprise both large expanses of Palaeolithic artefact-bearing river sands/gravels and deep channels infilled with thick sequences of fossiliferous fine-grained estuarine sediments that yield

Determining the Age of Terrace Formation Using Luminescence Dating—A Case of the Yellow River Terraces in the Baode Area, China

Methods and Protocols, 2020
Dating fluvial terraces has long been a challenge for geologists and geomorphologists, because terrace straths and treads are not usually directly dated.

Analysis of basic characteristics and deformation mechanism of loess potential landslide of terrace: Taking loess hilly region in southern Ningxia as an example

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2022
The Yellow River Basin has active geological structure, rapid geomorphic evolution and significant regional differentiation of climate, resulting in many types of major disasters in the basin, wide distribution and strong paroxysm. Taking the Loess Hilly

Constraining a model of punctuated river incision for Quaternary strath terrace formation

, 2022
In the small fraction of Earth's surface with the highest erosion rates such as the Alps and Himalayas quantifying rates of incision, rock uplift and inferring climatic controls on the landscape can be relatively straightforward once the ages of river ...
