The Kambaniru River valley near the city of Waingapu preserves a thick succession of coarse-grained fluvial-deltaic sediment deposited during the Late Pleistocene. This succession incises through a thick uplifted coral reef terrace succession and records intervals of highly episodic flow events during the last glacial interval. The occurrence of intraclastic, coarse sand/gravel matrix olistostromes in several areas attests to the occasionally catastrophic nature of flow in the ancestral Kambaniru River. Small to moderate-sized coral-rich reefs and laterally restricted reef terraces occur on delta-front conglomerate successions at multiple horizons through the study interval. These reefs record both intervals of low flow as well as periodic river-mouth avulsion episodes. Comparison of radiometric dates obtained from pelecypod and coral material from both deltaic successions and laterally adjacent coral reef terrace intervals indicates that uplift/subsidence history of the terraces differs from that of the valley and that correlation between the two should be taken with care.References
