The Entrenched Valley of the Lower Red River

Abstract

A geological investigation of the Lower Red River Valley was undertaken to determine: (1) the sequence of events and history of the alluvial valley; (2) the configuration of the erosion surface developed on the Tertiary deposits and at present largely buried under recent materials; (3) the nature, distribution, and origin of Recent alluvial deposits; (4) the importance of these features with regard to engineering works. This report is concerned primarily with the first and second items and will be followed by a more detailed and comprehensive report on the entire project.
