Data on fluvial sequences from around the world, collected as part of IGCP 449, has allowed comparison between such records with the purpose of searching for meaningful patterns. A key finding has been that fluvial incision rates, as measured by the vertical separations of well-dated terrace deposits one from another, and from the modern valley floor (which can be used as a proxy for uplift), are often very similar in different parts of the world but vary significantly between systems on different types of crust. The collection that this paper introduces, coupled with previous IGCP 449 publications cited, confirms that the aim of a worldwide compilation of fluvial archives has been achieved, with a number of syntheses already published. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
