River Terraces and Reversed Drainage

Sedimentology of the of Zayandeh-Rood River alluvial Terraces and the sediment source identification

In this research, three alluvial Terraces that are located in pathway of Zayandeh-Rood River are studied. The river starts from Bakhtiayri Zardkoh mountain and after through Esfahan city ends to Gawkhony lake. Age of alluvial terraces is younger in upstream than downstream and the height level of the terraces decrease relative to current river bed toward the downstream. The terraces were sample...

Automatic drainage pattern recognition in river networks

In both GIS and terrain analysis, drainage systems are important components. Owing to local topography and subsurface geology, a drainage system achieves a particular drainage pattern based on the form and texture of its network of stream channels and tributaries. Although research has been done on the description of drainage patterns in geography and hydrology, automatic drainage pattern recog...

Holocene strath terraces, climate change, and active tectonics: The Clearwater River basin, Olympic Peninsula, Washington State

The ;400 km2 Clearwater River basin, located on the Pacific flank of the actively uplifting Olympic Mountains of western Washington State, contains a well-preserved flight of Holocene fluvial terraces. We have collected a large data set of numeric ages from these terraces that is used to elucidate the geomorphic, fluvial, active tectonic, and climatic processes that operate at Holocene spatial ...

Dating fluvial terraces with 10 Be and 26 Al profiles : application to the Wind River , Wyoming

Fluvial strath terraces provide a record of river incision and the timing of climatic perturbations to the fluvial system. Dating depositional surfaces like terraces that are older than the range of C, however, is difficult. We employ a Ž . cosmogenic radionuclide CRN profile technique that addresses a major problem of CRN dating on such surfaces: nuclide inheritance. By measuring Be and Al pro...
