Landscapes are sculpted by a variety of processes that weather and erode bedrock,
converting it into soils and sediments that are moved downslope. Quantifying erosion rates
provides important insights into a wide range of questions in disciplines from tectonics and
landscape evolution to the impacts of land use. Cosmogenic nuclides contained in quartz
sediment provide a robust tool for determining spatially averaged erosion rates across
scales ranging from single hillslopes to continental river basins and are providing …
