Climatic and tectonic control on fluvial and alluvial fan sequence formation in the Central Makran Range, SE-Iran

Beside the dominant climate control on terrace formation, elevated channel steepness indices around major thrusts and numerous knickpoints indicate an additionally tectonic influence on terrace formation. Local incision rates (mean ~ 0.6-0.8 mm·a− 1) are variable in space and time but are similar to uplift rates obtained from coastal terraces and thus suggest a regional surface uplift.
