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.

Petrographic and Geotechnical Aspects of the River Terraces at the University of Mosul as Buildings Foundations

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023
This study explores the third stage of the Tigris River terraces at the University of Mosul. Due to its importance, most of its buildings, especially the modern ones, were built on these terraces, and some engineering problems appeared in those ...

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.

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

, 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 ...
