Timing of river capture in major Yangtze River tributaries: Insights from sediment provenance and morphometric indices

The eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau represents one of the morphologically most active regions on Earth, where the interplay of recent crustal deformation and subsequent fluvial landscape adjustment has affected the course of continental-scale rivers by river piracy events. Based solely on fiel...
