This paper presents a revised glacial chronology for the Lahul Himalaya and provides the most detailed reconstruction of former glacier extents in the western Himalayas published to date. On the basis of detailed geomorphological mapping, morphostratigraphy, and absolute and relative dating, three glaciations and two glacial advances are constrained. The oldest glaciation (Chandra glacial stage...

The Quaternary tract of Narmada basin covers an area of abut 12950 sq.km starting from west of Jabalpur (2307790530) to east of Handia (22 29’; 76 58’) for a distance of about 320 km. It is found to be ideal locus of Quaternary sedimentation in Central India, as witnessed by multi-cyclic sequence of Quaternary terraces in the valley. The total estimated thickness of Quaternary sediments in the ...

A Late Quaternary stratigraphic framework of the Yangtze delta, China, has been established based on the analysis and correlation of over 600 cores. Thirty cores were drilled and analyzed during this study, and the rest were collected from numerous publications. The Late Quaternary stratigraphic framework of the Yangtze delta consists of incised-valley fill and two interfluvial sequences. The i...

Four major paired terraces and six short local terraces have been identified along the Maumee River valley between the Ohio-Indiana state line and Perrysburg in northwestern Ohio by detailed field mapping and study of gaging-station records, water-well logs, and soils data. From highest to lowest, the paired terraces have been named the Antwerp, Florida, Napoleon, and Grand Rapids terraces. The...
