Fluvial landforms and deposits provide one of the most readily studied Quaternary
continental records, and alluvial strata represent an important component in most ancient …

Staircases of large-scale aggradational river terraces are a notable feature of many valleys
in the temperate lattitudes, particularly in areas beyond the reach of the erosive activities of …

We analyze geomorphic evidence of recent crustal deformation in the sub‐Himalaya of
central Nepal, south of the Kathmandu Basin. The Main Frontal Thrust fault (MFT), which …

The pattern of fluvial incision across the Himalayas of central Nepal is estimated from the
distribution of Holocene and Pleistocene terraces and from the geometry of modern …

The major goal of this book is to bring together evidence of active deformation on alluvial
rivers, with emphasis on geomorphological adjustment. The authors have grouped their …

During uplift of the Tibetan plateau and surrounding ranges, tectonic processes have
interacted with climatic change and with local random effects (such as landslides) to …

Slip rates across active faults and folds show that late Quaternary faulting is distributed
across the central Tien Shan, not concentrated at its margins. Nearly every intermontane …

Many river systems in western North America retain a fluvial strath-terrace rec ord of
discontinuous downcutting into bedrock through the Quaternary. Their importance lies in …

Across the cratonic landscape of Brazil the Solimões-Amazon River transports to its delta
plain 1240 Mt of suspended sediment derived from Andean erosion and reworks another …

A flight of marine terraces along the central California coastline provides a unique setting for
the study of topographic evolution. Wavecut platforms mantled by 2–6 m of marine terrace …
