Quantification of chemical weathering rates across an actively eroding hillslope
EG Green, WE Dietrich, JF Banfield - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2006 - Elsevier
Chemical weathering rates for landscapes are difficult to quantify because the timescales
over which weathering occurs are often unknown. In this study, we use timescales defined …
