Description :
To compare erosion rates with central Tibet and similarlarly arid Antarctica and Australia, the AA. have collected samples and measured in-situ Be 10 and Al 26 in bedrock surfaces in northwest Tibet. They explain the effects of climate and tectonics on erosion rate and especially provide hints on the cause of the abrupt increase of erosion and sedimentation rates in northwest Tibet in the middle to late Pliocene.
