Quaternary River Evolution

Quaternary River Evolution is a fluvial geomorphology concept denoting the spatiotemporal transformation of river systems during the Quaternary period, distinguished by its focus on the dynamic interplay between climatic fluctuations, tectonic activity, base-level changes, and sediment fluxes in shaping fluvial landscapes over the past 2.58 million years.
