[PDF][PDF] Flow in the lower continental crust as a mechanism for the Quaternary uplift of the Rhenish Massif, north-west Europe

R Westaway - River Basin Sediment Systems: Archives of …, 2001 - ndl.ethernet.edu.et

Crustal uplift in southern England: evidence from the river terrace records

D Maddy, DR Bridgland, CP Green - Geomorphology, 2000 - Elsevier
Much of the past work on the Quaternary rivers of northwest Europe has been concerned

[PDF][PDF] The Maas terrace sequence at Maastricht, SE Netherlands: evidence for 200 m of late Neogene and Quaternary surface uplift

MW Van den Berg, T van Hoof - River basin sediment systems …, 2001 - ndl.ethernet.edu.et
Rivers are continuously present in areas with humid climatic conditions. Their evolution is
recorded in sediment-landform assemblages. Over the years, several river-terrace flights …

The topographic signature of Quaternary tectonic uplift in the Ardennes massif (Western Europe)

N Sougnez, V Vanacker - Hydrology and Earth System …, 2011 - hess.copernicus.org
Geomorphic processes that produce and transport sediment, and incise river valleys are

Amount and controls of the Quaternary denudation in the Ardennes massif (western Europe)

A Demoulin, E Hallot, G Rixhon - Earth Surface Processes and …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
It is still debated whether the primary control on the middle Pleistocene denudation of the
uplifted Ardennes massif (western Europe) is tectonic or climatic. Here, based on …
