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

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

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]
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]
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

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 ...
