Late quaternary landscape evolution in the Atlantic Plateau (Brazilian highlands): Tectonic and climatic implications of fluvial archives

This paper identifies and discusses the major phases of relief evolution resulting from fluvial processes during the Late Quaternary in the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (QF) region (Atlantic Plateau) and contextualises them as strong indicators of the past tectonic and climatic influences on landscape evolution in the Brazilian highlands. Seven regional phases of fluvial level development (terraces and modern floodplains) were identified based on...
