THE HOLOCENE-TO-RECENT GEOMORPHOLOGICAL, SEDIMENTOLOGICAL AND STRATIGRAPHIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE LOWER PERAK RIVER AND ITS COASTAL-DELTAIC PLAIN

This study focuses on the geomorphology, sedimentology and stratigraphy of lower
Perak coastal deltaic-plain in relation to Holocene sea level change. The Perak River
is located on the west flank of Peninsular Malaysia and can be divided into four
geographic regions; lower and upper parts for both of the upstream and coastal areas.
The channel pattern occurred in this area includes the straight-braided and
meandering. The river flow changes it direction from north to south before drifted
easterly to the west at Teluk Intan.
