Morphostratigraphy of the Sázava river terraces in the Bohemian Massif

Abstract

The results of geomorphological research into the Sázava river terraces are presented. This terrace system is characteristic by its variable structure which is conditioned by specific hydrodynamic processes that existed during the late Cenozoic evolution of the river valley. Two levels of Neogene fluvial sediments and seven Quaternary terrace accumulations along the Sázava course are distinguished. In the paper is also established their chronostratigraphical relation to the Vltava-Labe terrace systems.
