Erosion, weathering, and sedimentation Erosion, weathering, and sedimentation
This chapter explains how a variety of nuclides have been applied to catchments throughout the world. One of the most exciting new approaches for quantifying the rate at which catchments erode is the measurement of in situ produced cosmogenic nuclides. The commonly applied nuclides for erosion rate measurements are 3He, 10Be, 26A1, and 36C1. Use of such nuclides was restricted to...
