| Abstract | The hypothesis of the existence of Pleistocene fluvial terraces in Sha Tin – Shing
Mun Valley was first raised by Li (1998). To further prove this hypothesis, A study
towards the fluvial terraces has been carried out, including the investigation of the
distribution and the historical ages of the fluvial terraces in lower Shing Mun Valley, soil
characteristics and stratigraphic sequence of the fluvial deposits. The data from 1963
aerial photos, historical topographic maps, modern Lidar data and evidential ground
investigation (GI) records in the Sha Tin area are comprehensively analyzed by aerial
photograph interpretation (API), field visits and three-dimensional modelling. The extent
of the anthropogenic disturbance towards the fluvial terraces is also studied to understand
how many terraces are preserved nowadays. The Quaternary geological evolutional
history of the Shing Mun Valley is interpreted based on the literature review and the
analysis result in this thesis.
