This study attempts to apply pedology to resolve the factors controlling the geomorphic evolution of terraces in the Pakua tableland. In this study, the weighted mean profile development index (PDI or WPDI) and the amounts of Fe and Al in soils
are examined and compared with those obtained in other studies to estimate soils and/or river terrace ages in the Pakua tableland. Moreover, landscape evolution and active deformation of the study area are discussed based on the pedogenic processes.
This study aims to identify some of factors contributing to the piping process in abandoned terraces in 7 sites located in the Murcia Region. The local landscape has the appearance of badland geomorphology, possessing deep valleys which until
the 1970s were terraced and cultivated. The terraces have now been abandoned to the piping process. The research focuses on the relationship between the size and position of pipes and the physical and geochemistry properties of the local highly dispersive
marl lithology; and the extent to which the reworking of the materials for terrace cultivation has exacerbated piping erosion.

Relationships between the surface area and age of alluvial deposits were used to estimate the residence time of alluvium in the 2205 km2 Waipaoa River basin, New Zealand. These deposits comprise terrace remnants isolated by downcutting, and Holocene

This paper presents a case study of recent vertical accretion on a fluvial terrace of the Upper Mississippi River, within the Sny Magill Unit of Effigy Mounds National Monument. Two independent methods are presented to estimate recent vertical
