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

Earth 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

Quaternary terraces of the Želivka River [PDF]

Geografie, 2010
This article presents the results of a geomorphological analysis of localities of Quaternary river terraces along the Želivka River and its historical-genetic interpretation in light of the formation of the Sázava terrace system. In addition, the morphogenetic characteristics of the Želivka Valley are presented and the fluvial sediments and terrace ...

Palaeochannels of the upper central Murray and lower Goulburn rivers, southeastern Australia

Journal of Maps
Palaeochannel systems are characteristic of alluvial plains across large parts of the Australian continent, but their evolution and modes of formation are still only partly understood.

Staging an Experience of Cultural Heritage Preservation: Consumers' Willingness to Pay for Heirloom Rice in the Philippines

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cordillera Administrative Region in the Philippines is home to terraced rice embedded in centuries of cultural heritage. However, weak market incentives threaten sustained production, jeopardizing indigenous communities' cultural heritage and the in situ biodiversity of rice genetic resources.

Nature Does the Averaging—In-Situ Produced ¹⁰Be, ²¹Ne, and ²⁶Al in a Very Young River Terrace

Geosciences, 2020
The concentrations of long-lived in-situ produced cosmogenic nuclides (10Be, 21Ne, 26Al) in quartz obtained from a very recent (~200 a; based on 14C data on organic material) terrace of the Swakop River in Namibia are nearly constant throughout a 322 cm ...

The Response of the Rivers of NW Greece to Late Quaternary Neotectonics, as Interpreted from Detrital Petrology

Geosciences, 2022
The modern drainage systems of the fold and thrust belt of the external Hellenide orogen of NW Greece are principally orogen-parallel. Late Quaternary changes in river courses have resulted from neotectonic deformation associated with the Katouna–Stamna ...

Participatory Policy Development: Reflections on Designing the Strong Roots for Our Futures Program in Victoria

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we trace the journey to create the Strong Roots for our Futures Program, a government program to resource and support Traditional Owners to undertake a range of activities in areas where no state recognition existed. We provide a background to state recognition in Victoria before considering the program design, leading to an ...

Leveraging Big Multitemporal Multisource Satellite Data and Artificial Intelligence for the Detection of Complex and Invisible Features: The Case of Extensive Irrigation Mapping

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The detection of buried or obscured archaeological features remains a central challenge in landscape archaeology, particularly in the irrigated floodplains of Mesopotamia where levees and canals formed the basis of complex agrarian systems. This study presents a deep learning–based approach for the large‐scale, automated detection of ancient ...

How Sediment Supply, Sea‐Level, and Glacial Isostatic Oscillations Drive Alluvial River Long‐Profile Evolution and Terrace Formation

AGU Advances
For over a century, alluvial river terraces have been used as archives of tectonic deformation or changes in water discharge, sediment supply, and sea level.

Deciphering the Palimpsest: Chronological Uncertainty and the Interpretation of Mining Landscapes at Písečný vrch (Czech Republic)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We investigated the Písečný vrch (Czech Republic), a site exploited for quartz mining in both prehistoric times and the 20th century. Due to their morphological similarity across all mining periods, the differentiation between pits with archaeological potential and recent ones is challenging.
