Quantifying sediment discharge from the Bolivian Andes into the Beni foreland basin from cosmogenic 10Be-derived denudation rates

Abstract: Enormous volumes of sediment are produced in the Central Andes and are then delivered into the foreland basins of Amazon basin tributaries. While cosmogenic nuclides in sediment are a suitable tool to measure the denudation rates of sediment-producing areas, the requirement of steady state...
