Journal Article
Demir, T., Seyrek, A., Guillou, H., Scaillet, S., Westaway, R., & Bridgland, D. (2009). Preservation by basalt of a staircase of latest Pliocene terraces of the River Murat in eastern Turkey : evidence for rapid uplift of the eastern Anatolian Plateau. Global and Planetary Change, 68(4), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2009.02.008

Unspiked K–Ar dating makes the age of the Çakmaközü basalt in eastern Turkey 1818±39 ka (±2σ). This basalt overlies a staircase of four terraces of the RiverMurat, a Euphrates tributary, each separated vertically by ∼20 m. We deduce from the relation...

The fluvial terraces of the Meurthe-Moselle provide a record of uplift in northeastern France and southwestern Germany dating back to the Pliocene. The uplift has amounted to ~120 m since the Mid-Pleistocene Revolution in climate at ~0.9 Ma, with ~16...

Implications of new Quaternary uplift models for correlation between the Middle and Upper Thames terrace sequences, UK. (2009)
Journal Article

Modelling of uplift histories in the Upper and Middle Thames valleys has revealed an important difference, in the form of additional early post-Anglian uplift in the Middle Thames, attributed to an Anglian (~440 ka) glacio-isostatic effect. Terraces... Read More about Implications of new Quaternary uplift models for correlation between the Middle and Upper Thames terrace sequences, UK..
