Abstract

The considerable diversity of environmental conditions across the
Eurasian continent makes this this region an outstanding natural laboratory for studying the role of different factors (such as climatic change
and tectonic activity) that control the evolution of fluvial systems. Major
developments in the research of fluvial systems in different regions of
Eurasia have been achieved in recent years. The application of modern
techniques in the study of alluvial archives, such as the absolute dating
of terrace and floodplain deposits, has advanced understanding, at a
range of timescales, of Quaternary evolution of fluvial systems, of climatic and tectonic influences on this development, and of the role of
fluvial dynamics in the human occupation of river valleys (and vice
versa).
