Holocene fluvial landscape evolution driven by sea level and tectonic controls in the Gangkou River, Hengchun Peninsula

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2021
The fluvial landscape of the Hengchun Peninsula in southernmost Taiwan is generally characterized by a narrow river and a wide valley plain. Such underfit stream features are unusual in tectonically active areas such as Taiwan.

Sedimentation and geomorphology of the Ruoergai Basin outlet reach at the source of the Yellow River: Response to the late quaternary glacial debris flow damming events

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Fluvial terraces in the source of the Yellow River suggest that Ruoergai Basin was connected with the lower reach after ∼10 ka, much younger than the uplift chronology of the Tibetan Plateau.

Characteristics of loess seismic subsidence and corresponding micro-zonation for the Fuping Country, Shaanxi

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao, 2023
Typical loess generally shows the property of strong seismic subsidence due to its special microstructure characteristics. Fuping County which is located in the connection zone of Weihe Basin and Ordos Platform possesses complex seismic tectonic settings,

Ostracode-based aminostratigraphy and aminochronology of a tufa system in central Spain [PDF]

, 2005
In the Priego area, central Spain, extensive tufa deposits are located in three small tributaries located at the head of the 1000 kmlong Tagus River. The deposits are originated after karst-origin running waters emerged from the confines of the canyons ...

Geomorphic signal of active faulting at the northern edge of Lut Block. Insights on the kinematic scenario of Central Iran [PDF]

, 2016
Recent works documented Neogene to Quaternary dextral strike-slip tectonics along the Kuh-e-Sarhangi and Kuh-e-Faghan intraplate strike-slip faults at the northern edge of the Lut Block of Central Iran, previously thought to be dominated by sinistral ...

Slip rates on the Chelungpu and Chushiang thrust faults inferred from a deformed strath terrace along the Dungpuna river, west central Taiwan [PDF]

, 2007
The Chelungpu fault produced the September 1999 M_w = 7.6 Chi-Chi earthquake, central Taiwan. The shortening rate accommodated by this structure, integrated over several seismic cycles, and its contribution to crustal shortening across the Taiwanese ...

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 ...
