Correlation of fluvial terraces and temporal steady-state incision on the onshore Makran accretionary wedge in southeastern Iran: Insight from channel profiles and 10 Be exposure dating of strath terraces

Negar Haghipour, Jean-Pierre Burg, Susan Ivy-Ochs, Irena Hajdas, Peter Kubik, Marcus Christl
Journal: GSA Bulletin
Published: 01 March 2015
GSA Bulletin (2015) 127 (3-4): 560–583.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1130/B31048.1
... on the coast of this region. Thirty-five strath terraces at different sites were dated using in situ–produced cosmogenic 10 Be concentrations from surfaces and depth profiles. These new measurements reveal abandonment ages between ca. 15 and 380 ka. The age distribution allows determining the chronology...
