Cosmogenic dating of fluvial terraces in the Sorbas Basin, SE Spain
Long term fluvial incision spanning the Late Cenozoic is recorded in many fluvial systems around the world by terrace landform sequences. The 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 …

Tectonic and climatic control on the evolution of the Himalayan mountain front
… monsoonal forcing, and the existence of numerous fluvial terraces provides excellent strain markers to assess deformation processes within the Himalayan orogenic wedge. In addition, being located in front of the Dhauladhar Range the region is characterized by pronounced gradients in past and …

New constraints on the late Cenozoic incision history of the New River, Virginia
… However, large packages of alluvial fill and fluvial terraces cut into this fill record an incision history for the river that includes several periods of stalled downcutting and aggradation. Cosmogenic 10-Be exposure dating, aided by mapping and sedimentological examination of terrace …

Ravine alluvial fans as records of landscape change in the Le Sueur River Basin, southern Minnesota
… at the mouths of ravines where they terminate on fluvial terraces. Establishing a post-settlement chronology is difficult in the highly erosive knickzone of the Le Sueur. We take advantage of six fan deposits spread throughout the LSRB to determine the fluvial response of upland agricultural land …

The palaeolithic of the Avon valley: a geoarchaeological approach to the hominin colonisation of Britain.
… the complex depositional context of Pleistocene fluvial terraces and limited age constraints of these sites. This thesis discusses the current knowledge of the Pleistocene palaeogeography and hominin occupation of Britain and how a geoarchaeological reinvestigation into the Avon valley …

Geologic Map and Structural Analysis of the Twin Rocks 7.5 Minute Quadrangle, Wayne County, Utah
… understanding the evolution and development of fluvial terraces associated with Sulfur Creek and the structural geology of the backlimb of the Miners Mountain uplift. Nine bedrock stratigraphic formations and eight types of Quaternary deposits were mapped throughout the quadrangle. Bedrock …

Pliocene-Pleistocene landscape evolution in south-central Chile : interactions between tectonic, geomorphic, and climatic processes
… and record the uplift of marine and river terraces. In addition, these uplifting areas have caused major changes in flow directions or rivers. In contrast, the Toltén segment, situated between the two other segments, appears to be quasi-stable. In order to further quantify uplift and …
