Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction And... Apr 2026

Reconstructing these ancient landscapes involves piecing together fragmented geological data to build a coherent model of the past topography:

: For more recent Holocene surfaces, researchers use coring and electrical resistivity tomography to identify flood-safe locations, such as Pleistocene sand mounds (Geziras), that influenced human settlement patterns. Palaeosurfaces: Recognition, Reconstruction and...

: Features such as lateritization, bauxitization, and palaeokarstification provide chemical evidence of past weathering processes acting on a surface. such as Pleistocene sand mounds (Geziras)
