Session Description

Rivers are among the most dynamic agents shaping landforms through processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition, serving as long-term archives of past geomorphic and climatic events. In mountains, rivers create terraces, and at the mountain front, they form alluvial fans that preserve records of tectonics and/or climate-linked aggradation and degradation. In the plains, rivers create megafans, floodplains, bars, etc., accumulating a thick sequence of fine sediments that provides a long, high-resolution record of past environmental changes. The slack-water deposits, paleochannels, and other features serve as excellent repositories of paleoflood records. We invite contributions from researchers employing multidisciplinary approaches to study fluvial landforms, which enhances our understanding of long-term Quaternary landscape development. The studies utilising geochronology (OSL/TL, ESR, cosmogenic radionuclides, lead-210, caesium-137, etc.), remote sensing and GIS, sedimentology (provenance, facies analysis, etc.), geomorphology, geochemistry, stratigraphy, paleohydrology, and archaeology.
