The Quaternary landforms of the Büyük Menderes Graben System: the southern Menderes Massif, western Anatolia, Turkey

“…tectonic uplift) (Mather et al, 2017;Meikle et al, 2010). The river terraces in extensional regions were used to explain the role of the faulting, regional uplift, and base level change (Maddy et al, 2020;Ocakoğlu, 2020). Accordingly, the river terraces in the study area are important archives recording tectonic movements and base-level changes in the region.…”

Preservation of the last aggradation phase in climate‐driven terraces: Evidence from Late Quaternary reach‐specific fluvial dynamics of the Allier River (France)

“…These trends seem not only to confirm the time‐lag transition predictions but also the reach specificity of the erosion and deposition. These differences can also be related to different tectonic units (Viveen et al ., 2013, 2014; Woolderink et al ., 2019; Maddy et al ., 2020). The knickpoints visible in the longitudinal profile in Figure 8 suggest such a factor, given the uniform easily erodible lithologies in the Limagne graben.…”

“…We therefore postulate that in most climate‐driven terraces, the last aggradation phase is predominantly preserved. This observation might also help to separate the different drivers of terrace formation, which are not always only climate‐related (Maddy et al ., 2020).…”

Orta Sakarya Vadisi Akarsu Seki Sistemlerinin Morfometrik ve Sedimantolojik Özellikleri (İnhisar-Gemiciköy Arası, Bilecik)

“…These studies (İlgüz, 1940;Pfannenstiel, 1941;İnandık, 1955;Akkan, 1970;Erol, 1973), which were based on the geomorphological and sedimentological features of landforms, have gained a quantitative dimension, including geochronological data such as deposition/cleavage dates. In Turkey, said studies are still carried out in various sections of large rivers such as the Kızılırmak River (Dogan, 2011;Çiner et al, 2015;Berndt et al, 2018), the Yesilırmak River (Erturaç and Kıyak, 2017;McClain et al, 2017), the Tigris River (Bridgland et al, 2007;Karadoğan and Kuzucuoğlu, 2017), the Gediz River (Westaway et al, 2003;Maddy et al ., 2016;Maddy et al, 2020), Göksu (Avşin et al, 2019), the Melendiz River (Doğan et al, 2019), the Asi River (Bridgland et al, 2012), the Filyos River (McClain et al, 2019) and the Sakarya River (Erturaç et al, 2019a;Erturaç et al, 2019b).…”
