The morphology of marine and lacustrine terraces has been largely used to measure past sea- and lake-level positions and estimate vertical deformation in a wealth of studies focused on climate and tectonic processes. To ...

Due to severe land degradation problems, soil conservation is a matter of major concern in the Ecuadorian Andes. Slow-forming terraces, a variation of hedgerow agro-forestry systems composed by contour grass barrier strips, ...

Fluvial terraces are considered key relief markers to understand environmental changes in the nature time scale, acting as paleo-indicators of morphogenetic processes occurred during the Quaternary, especially the Holocene. ...

This study investigated the lower terrace and floodplain formation in the lower Peixe River in southeastern Brazil. Morphologic, sedimentologic and geochronologic analyses in this meandering tributary of the Parana River ...
