Pleistocene terraces in the Hochrhein area : formation, age constraints and neotectonic implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Pleistocene fluvial gravel terraces appear to be useful to decipher neotectonic movements. To achieve this, however, chronologic and sedimentologic data on the terraces are required. Thus, this thesis represents a multidisciplinary approach.

Paleogeographic reconstruction of the formation of the first terrace of the Vitim River in the context of the evolution of the Mamakan Geoarchaeological Region [PDF]

open access: yesВестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии
Contrary to conventional assumptions about the Holocene age of the first floodplain terrace of the Vitim River, a study of sites within the Mamakan Archaeological Ensemble (located in the lower reaches) — including Kovrizhka IV, Invalidny III (locations ...

Enhancing the Identification and Mapping of Fluvial Terraces Combining Geomorphological Field Survey with Land-Surface Quantitative Analysis

open access: yesGeosciences, 2022
A methodological approach to refining the identification and mapping of fluvial terraces has been applied, combining geomorphological field surveys with the computation and assessment of different morphometric parameters (local, statistical, and object ...

A multidisciplinary overview of the lower Miño River terrace system (NW Iberian Peninsula)

open access: yes, 2020
The Miño River basin represents one of the main fluvial catchments draining the Atlantic side of the Iberian Peninsula. The extensive sedimentary deposits of this basin have been documented since the 19th century, but limited research has been undertaken

Features of terraces and the incision rate along the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River east of Namche Barwa: Constraints on tectonic uplift

open access: yesOpen Geosciences, 2020
Along the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, scattered alluvium sections appear on T1 and T2 terraces. The alluvial deposits on the T1 terrace in Linduo and Ximogou and the T2 terrace in Guoguotang are composed principally of coarse-grained sand ...

Late Quaternary Drainage Rearrangement Prevents the Vegetation Development in the La Tatacoa Intermontane Basin of the Colombian Andes

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Tatacoa Desert (TD) is a Cenozoic basin between the Central and Eastern Cordilleras in the southern Colombian Andes. Its sparse vegetation and Badlands morphology resemble a semi-arid environment, despite receiving ∼1,300 mm of mean annual ...

Cerna River terraces between Bãile Herculane and Orsova [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the University of Bucharest: Geography Series, 2017
This study displays a detailed analysis of Cerna river terraces along its final 20 km (its lower reach). The main working method was the field charting during a number of campaigns. The starting point were previous studies concerning Cerna river Valley,

On the potential for regolith control of fluvial terrace formation in semi-arid escarpments [PDF]

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics, 2016
Cut–fill terraces occur throughout the western Andes, where they have been associated with pluvial episodes on the Altiplano. The mechanism relating increased rainfall to sedimentation is, however, not well understood. Here, we apply a hillslope sediment

Towards a budget approach to Pleistocene terraces: preliminary studies using the River Exe in South West England, UK

open access: yes, 2009
This paper presents a first approach to using a sediment budget methodology for paired terrace staircase sediments in SW England. Although a budget approach has become firmly established in Holocene fluvial studies, it has not been used in Pleistocene ...
