Cosmogenic 26Al, 10Be, and 14C dating of fluvial fill terraces in steep canyons of the Colorado Front Range provides a temporal framework for analysing episodic aggradation and incision. Results from Boulder Canyon show that terrace heights above the modern channel (grade) can be divided into: (1) Bull Lake ( 100 ka; 20–15 m above grade); (2) Pinedale (32–10 ka; 15–4 m above grade); and (3) Hol...

introduction iran forms a relatively compact zone of active continental deformation resulted from the northward collision of arabia with eurasia during late cenozoic times, which is continuing to the present-day at a rate of 25 mm/yrs (from gps data). evidences of active tectonic in different parts of iran, has been studied and identified. the arid climate, low rates of erosion, and minimal veg...

This study examined the climate sensitivity of the growth of riparian Alnus incana ssp. tenuifolia (thinleaf alder), a keystone nitrogen-fixer, on the Tanana River floodplain of interior Alaska. We investigated correlations between alder radial growth and inter-annual variation in monthly meteorology and hydrology, spatial patterns of alder climate sensitivity in relationship to depth of subsur...
