Datation de surfaces geomorphologiques reperes par le10Be produit in-situ; implications tectoniques et climatiques

Description
Abstract. – Measurement of 10Be and 26Al concentrations produced by cosmic ray bombardment within the quartz mineral fraction of surficial deposits and exposed bedrocks (in situ-production) is rapidly becoming an important quantitative tool in geomorphology. Whereas conventional methods provide age control on stratigraphic profiles, surface exposure dating using in situ-produced 10Be and 26Al is particularly well-suited not only for continuous dating but also for quantifying spatial variations and rates of geomorphic processes.
