WEARING DOWN - The continental weathering-erosion-transport-deposition nexus in a new light

地球表面是一个动态界面，受构造和气候之间的相互作用控制，并由广泛的物理、化学、生物和人为过程的相互作用形成。 该项目旨在通过提供有关景观风化和侵蚀（WP 1）以及河流系统（WP 2）中相关沉积物响应构造和气候强迫（WP 3）的转移的新信息，提高我们对相关沉积物通量的理解。我们将通过开发尖端的地质年代学和建模技术，推进这些主题的最先进的方法，这些技术有可能提供对大陆风化-侵蚀-运输-沉积关系的新的定量理解。德法团队包括专门从事表面过程分析、建模和测年的研究人员。该研究将开发来自欧洲、新西兰、尼泊尔和智利河流系统的发光和宇宙成因数据，并结合实验和数值模拟。

The Earths surface is a dynamic interface controlled by interplay between tectonics and climate and shaped by interaction of a wide range of physical, chemical, biological and anthropogenic processes. This project aims in improving our understanding of related sediment fluxes, by providing novel information on landscape weathering and erosion (WP1) and on the transfer of related sediments in fluvial systems (WP2) in response to tectonic and climatic forcing (WP3). We will advance state-ofthe-art approaches on these topics by developing cutting-edge geochronological and modelling techniques that have the potential to provide a new quantitative understanding of the continental weathering-erosion-transport-deposition nexus. The German-French team involves researchers specialized in the analysis, modelling and dating of surface processes. The study will develop luminescence and cosmogenic data from fluvial systems in Europe, New Zealand, Nepal and Chile, coupled to experimental and numerical modeling.
