2015111 · Abstract. Alluvial terraces provide a record of aggradation and incision and are studied to understand river response to changes in climate, tectonic activity, sea level, and factors internal to the river system. Terraces form in all climatic regions and in a range of geomorphic settings; however, relatively few studies have been undertaken in ...

The causes of alluvial plain incision often reflect mixtures of external processes such as climatic, tectonic, and eustatic fluctuations ( Leopold et al., 1964, Born and Ritter, 1970, Merritts et al., 1994, Bridgland …
view moreAn alluvial river in a humid environment normally experiences overbank floods each year or two. Figure 15.19 illustrates the typical landforms of an alluvial river and its floodplain, including bluffs, ox-bow lakes, natural levees, and backswamps. Bluffs are cut when meanders excavate older terraces or preexisting materials.

Morphostratigraphy addresses the sequence of alluvial landforms – including terraces – and alluvial fans, as well as depositional landforms such as floodplains, natural levees, cutoff channels, and oxbow lakes (Wells 2001 ).

However, mining can also be a means for financing alternative livelihood paths that, over the long-term, may prevent biodiversity loss. Complex and controversial issues associated with mining and biodiversity conservation are often simplified within a narrow frame oriented …

Tango plans to recommence bulk sampling and trial alluvial diamond production as soon as practical with the implementation of an updated project development plan and strategy.
