River terrace height and width analysis

Description: Climatically formed alluvial river-terrace sequences offer an exceptional opportunity to study valley-width evolution under similar discharge and lithologic conditions. To investigate additional parameters controlling valley width, we globally compiled alluvial-terrace sequences that have been associated with late Quaternary climate changes. All terrace cross-sections that are accepted to our compilation (1) include both valley sides, (2) show absolute values of distance and height, as well as profile location, and, (3) display a minimum of three terrace levels out of which at least one is preserved as a paired terrace. The terrace width and height measurements are summarized in this dataset. The data are presented as Excel and ASCII tables.
