Description :
The AA. combine measurements of particle-bound radionuclides (Cs137, Pb210, Ra226, Th233, K40) and classical geomorphology to investigate and reconstruct the different phases of development of a gully during the last c. 100 years., and link them to their likely anthropogenic and natural causes. Further, they assess the inputs of different sediment sources to and from the gully network and derive sediment accumulation rates on the fan associated with the gully system. This detailed temporal and process understanding of the gully system is necessary to improve land management.
