Quantification of three-dimensional folding using fluvial terraces: A case study from the Mushi anticline, northern margin of the Chinese Pamir

, 2013
Fold deformation in three dimensions involves shortening, uplift, and lateral growth. Fluvial terraces represent strain markers that have been widely applied to constrain a fold's shortening and uplift.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Morphostratigraphy of the Sázava river terraces in the Bohemian Massif

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2021
The results of geomorphological research into the Sazava river terraces are presented. This terrace system is characteristic by its variable structure which is conditioned by specific hydrodynamic processes that existed during the late Cenozoic evolution

River Terraces in Chichibu Basin

Geographical Review of Japan, 1952
Chichibu Basin is situated at the north-eastern part of Kanto-Mts. In this basin river terraces are distributed along the River Ara and River Akahira. We have researched the terrace deposits, especially size and angularity, sorting of terrace gavels, altitude and thickness of gravel beds, from which we have studied on the environment of deposition and ...

Modeling the shortening history of a fault tip fold using structural and geomorphic records of deformation [PDF]

, 2007
We present a methodology to derive the growth history of a fault tip fold above a basal detachment. Our approach is based on modeling the stratigraphic and geomorphic records of deformation, as well as the finite structure of the fold constrained from ...

Investigating the structure under the Pingting Terrace from the co-seismic surface rupture of the 2022 Guanshan earthquake

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences
On September 17th and 18th, 2022, shallow earthquakes with magnitudes of 6.6 (ML) and 6.8 (ML) occurred in the eastern Taiwan Longitudinal Valley, which marks the collision zone between the Philippine Sea plate and the Eurasian plate, and led to ...

Charles Darwin y las glaciaciones más antiguas de Patagonia: los bloques erráticos del alto valle del Río Santa Cruz [PDF]

, 2009
Although the depositational environment assigned by Darwin to the large erratic blocks and gravels in the Río Santa Cruz valley has been reinterpreted, his geomorphological and stratigraphic observations are still in force.

Geochronology of the Whittlesey sedimentary succession, eastern England: The ‘Pompeii’ of the British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...
