With the help of geoelectric research the location of the Bichterweert scarp at the bottom of the Maas valley bottomgravels was determined. The scarp belongs to the Feldbiss fault system. It is the result of movements of Saalian and Weichselian age
scarps on the fan surfaces enables the identification of several geomorphic indicators employed in analysing and separating faulting events and periods of quiescence: the nature of fault scarp topography; soil catenary development on fault scarps; buried
Multiple talus flatirons, variations of scarp retreat rates and the evolution of slopes in Almazán Basin (semi-arid central spain)
. They have measured their profiles and have fitted them to mathematical functions. By extrapolating these functions, they have obtained the intersection point with the scarp at every stage. Remains of charcoal found in the debris slopes have been dated
Factors controlling mass movement susceptibility on the Wellenkalk-scarp in Hesse and Thuringia
of the Wellenkalk and the Röt make the Wellenkalk-scarp one of the most active cuesta slopes in Central Europe with respect to gravitational processes. This study is planned to use the results as a data base for a landslide hazard map of the Thuringia Basin.
with eolian deposits during the Riss and the Würm. In the evolution of great Cretan fault scarps, the slope fans have a double meaning tectonic and climatic. They were formed down to the altitude of 500-600m in the Wurmian period and to 200-300m in the rissian
. They mask very fresh fault scarps from the Riss-Wurm. The allmid fans are tissian or würmian. They were formed during the youth-stage of the fault scarps and have a cyclical meaning| they are locally faulted.

The author deals with the origin, development and shape of escarpments in context to relief forming crustal movements and the degradation processes due to climatic influences. The described escarpments vary from fault scarps and fault line scarps
A flight of Quaternary marine terraces provides a framework for quantitative analysis of abandoned sea cliff modification as a function of time. The relationships are weaker than for stream terraces and fault scarps in unconsolidated materials
but the method can probably be used successfully to distinguish early, middle and late Quaternary fault scarps or sea cliffs in consolidated materials.
The scarp slopes with vertical faces have a tectonic origine, determined by recent quaternary throws. Regular and scarp slopes alternate or are juxtaposed along the length of the profile. Three detitrical series can be observed at their feet: rough
Soils as a tool for estimating ages of Quaternary fault scarps in a hyperarid environment - the southern Arava valley, the Dead Sea Rift, Israel

On the alluvial fan of Nahal Shehoret in the extremely arid region of the Negev desert, Reg soils developed on stable alluvial surfaces in colluvium along terrace risers and in colluvial units on a complex fault scarp were compared. IRSL dates

This paper evaluates the timing of geomorphic change by examining a drainage capture event across the Baependi fault scarp involving the Cuieiras and Tarumã-Mirim River basins northwest of the city of Manaus in Brazil. A system of capture-related
