Vývoj údolí řeky Boyne (Irsko)

Abstract

The evolution of the Boyne River valley (Ireland) was influenced by morphostructural conditions and glacial processes. The deranged drainage system of the upper Boyne River is an example of a glacially modified watershed. The lower Boyne valley was also influenced by a diverse bedrock and retrograde erosion caused by a glacio-isostatic uplift of Ireland during the late Quaternary. The combination of geomorphic signs of the glacio-isostatic uplift and climate changes has produced the development of six accumulation river terraces.
