River terraces as a response to climatic forcing: Formation processes, sedimentary characteristics and sites for human occupation

Climate-dependent fluvial architecture and processes on a suborbital timescale in areas of rapid tectonic uplift: An example from the NE Tibetan Plateau

“…The dating results indicate that these sediment series were deposited during cold periods (stadials), which is in accordance with the general model of fluvial development derived for temperate and periglacial environments (last updated by Vandenberghe, 2008Vandenberghe, , 2014Bridgland and Westaway 2008). There is additional sedimentary evidence of cold climatic conditions: For example, in the deposits of T5 at the JiaoJia (JJ) section ( Fig.…”

“…However, at the beginning of this transition the incision was still weak, so that the floodplain could still be reached at high flood stages (Vandenberghe, 2014). Subsequently, the incision at the warm-to-cold transition led to the final abandonment of the former floodplain.…”

“…Antoine et al, 2007, Cordier et al, 2006, and during both types of transition (e.g. Vandenberghe, 1995Vandenberghe, , 2008Vandenberghe, , 2014Bridgland and Westaway, 2008). In addition, it is suggested that certain magnitudes and durations Global and Planetary Change 133 (2015) …”

Geomorphic response and 14C chronology of base-level changes induced by Late Quaternary Caspian Sea mobility (middle Kura Valley, Azerbaijan)

“…In contrast, our results indicate strong regressive riverbed incision for this period (corresponding to the Mangyshlak regression). This geomorphic trend should have started earlier (Upper Pleistocene-Postglacial transition) if it was directly climatically driven (Bridgland and Westaway, 2008;Vandenberghe, 2014).…”

The Fluvial Archives Group: 20 years of research connecting fluvial geomorphology and palaeoenvironments

“…However, the emphasis is on intrinsic processes with scant reference to the abundant body of literature showing the significance of external effects on fluvial evolution, such as climate (Vandenberghe, 1995(Vandenberghe, , 2002(Vandenberghe, , 2003(Vandenberghe, , 2008(Vandenberghe, , 2015Antoine, 1994;Bridgland, 1994Bridgland, , 2000Maddy et al, 2000Maddy et al, , 2001Starkel, 2003;Cordier et al, 2006Cordier et al, , 2014) and tectonic and/or crustal processes (Veldkamp and Van den Berg, 1993;Antoine, 1994;Van den Berg, 1994;Bridgland, 1994Bridgland, , 2000Maddy, 1997;Antoine et al, 2000;Westaway et al, 2003Westaway et al, , 2006Westaway et al, , 2009bMather and Hartley, 2006;Stokes et al, 2008;Bridgland and Westaway, 2008a, b; see also Demoulin et al, this issue). Although anthropogenic impact on fluvial geomorphological processes is mentioned in those two papers, very little of the work cited includes pre-modern timescales (e.g.…”
