Evaluation of the Fluvial Response to Tectonic Uplift From Grain-Size Distribution in Riverbed Gravels at the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau

Evaluation of the Fluvial Response to Tectonic Uplift From Grain-Size Distribution in Riverbed Gravels at the Northeastern Margin of the Tibetan Plateau

Downstream fining of riverbed gravels is generally linked with the processes of hydraulic sorting and abrasion. Hydraulic sorting is when larger gravel clasts stop moving in response to decreasing flow energy, whereas, finer grains will continue to be carried downstream. Furthermore, transportation...
