What is Active Tectonics in Alluvial Rivers about?

This document summarizes how rivers respond geomorphically and sedimentologically to subtle tectonic deformation. Rivers are sensitive to changes in gradient caused by tilting. Responses include deflection around uplifted zones, aggradation in backtilted reaches and degradation in foretilted reaches, shifts in channel patterns to compensate for slope changes, increased flooding in foretilted reaches and decreased flooding in backtilted reaches, and changes in bedload grain size. These responses can preserve
