Dynamic river networks drive landscape change and biological evolution
Rivers transport sediment, nutrients and life throughout a continent, all-the while shaping the landscapes they flow through. My thesis investigates the processes that govern the dynamics of river basins and the ways in which these processes may influence the evolution of aquatic life. In Chapters …

Controls on long-term drainage development of the Carboneras Basin, SE Spain
… for the Rio Gafares. Detailed investigations of river terrace deposits established an ongoing connection between the adjacent Sorbas Basin and the Carboneras drainage until the Late Pleistocene. A probable river capture of the Rio Gafares finally limited the catchment size of the river and …

LANDSLIDE INVESTIGATION IN THE RÍO AGUAS CATCHMENT, SOUTHEAST SPAIN
… the Rio Aguas Catchment are related to a major river capture and modification of the drainage network that occurred approximately 100Ka BP, and that they are a key component of the geomorphological processes active within the study area. This river capture, driven by differential tectonic uplift …

Tectonic and Climatic Controls on Continental River Systems
Erosion by rivers is the dominant driver of topographic change over much of Earth’s terrestrial surface, and sets the pace of change for other landscape processes. In this thesis, I explore the complexities of landscapes evolving under fluvial processes. I address questions of how rivers respond to …

The development and evolution of Etosha Pan, Namibia
… palaeolake which was abandoned following the river capture of its major fluvial system, the Kunene River. The river capture was assumed to have taken place in the Pliocene/Early Pleistocene. In spite of the absence of fluvial input that the Kunene contributed, the original lake was thought to …

Cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces in the Sorbas Basin, SE Spain
… incision manifests itself as inset sequences of river terraces which form terrace staircases. The timing of the onset of incision and the rate incision then proceeds at is poorly constrained due to the difficulties in dating river terraces. This study applies the technique of cosmogenic exposure …
