The fluvial record in the Czech Republic: A review in the context of IGCP 518

Pleistocene terraces of the Vltava River in the Budějovice basin (Southern Bohemian Massif): New insights into sedimentary history constrained by luminescence data

“…This is proved by the fact, that the thalweg of the modern river sits on a stacked sequence of fluvial sediments deposited since the last~100 ka. Similar morphological build up of the river valley with a terrace staircase situated above the recent water level and the modern river thalweg sitting on the youngest gravel body can be observed along reaches crossing the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin as well as the basins adjacent to the Carpathian foredeep in Moravia (Tyráček and Havlíček, 2009).…”

“…One of the very few examples to compare the situation in the Budějovice basin to is the terrace system in the Dyje-Svratka basin situated in southern Moravia (Tyráček and Havlíček, 2009). Authors of this study describe twelve terrace levels preserved as patches Table 3 Comparison of data from this study with older studies by Puffer (1918), Engelmann (1938), and Chábera (1965).…”

Response of fluvial, aeolian, and lacustrine systems to late Pleistocene to Holocene climate change, Lower Moravian Basin, Czech Republic

“…Morava valley-fill has been shown to consist of a complex mosaic of alluvial fan, fluvial, aeolian sand, and loess accumulations deposited since the Pliocene (Kukla, 1975;Havlíček, 1991;Havlíček et al, 1994Havlíček et al, , 1996Havlíček et al, , 1997Havlíček et al, , 2007Frechen et al, 1999;Tyráček and Havlíček, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to explore the stratigraphic and chronologic relationships of interpreted fluvial, aeolian, and lacustrine strata within a segment of the Morava River valley in which the strata records the response of these depositional environments to climatic change from MIS 3 to the Holocene.…”

Morphostratigraphy of river terraces in the Eger valley (Czechia) focused on the Smrčiny Mountains, the Chebská pánev Basin and the Sokolovská pánev Basin

“…4) were discovered by the geomorphological analysis of the Eger River valley as well as by the evaluation of the previous research data and by the reconstruction method, which was used to assess the terrace system. The morphostratigraphical classification of the river terraces (Tables 1 and 2, Figures 5 and 6) was based on the parallel nature with the terrace system of the middle and lower Eger (Balatka and Sládek 1976;Balatka 1993;Tyráček 1995;Tyráček et al 1985Tyráček et al , 2004 and also on the correlation of the fluvial accumulations in the studied area with the Quaternary-geological system Ambrož et al 1958;Šantrůček et al 1994;Balatka and Kalvoda 2008;Tyráček and Havlíček 2009;Balatka et al 2010aBalatka et al ,b, 2015.…”
