Fluvial terraces of the northwest Iberian lower Miño River

Figures & data

Figure 1. Overview of the Miño-Sil catchment in NW Iberia. Figure adapted from Viveen, Braucher et al. (2012).

Figure 2. Long-distance terrace correlations of the lower Miño terraces. Figure adapted from Viveen et al. (2013). Terrace correlations are based on mapped terrace levels at seven transects, where (almost) complete terrace staircases were observed (indicated by black dots), changes in quartzite densities, and river profile evolution modelling results (Viveen et al., 2013).
