Bayesian inversion of a CRN depth profile to infer Quaternary erosion of the northwestern Campine Plateau (NE Belgium)

The rate at which low-lying sandy areas in temperate regions, such as the Campine Plateau (NE Belgium), have been eroding during the Quaternary is a matter of debate. Current knowledge on the average pace of landscape evolution in the Campine area is largely based on geological inferences and modern analogies. We performed a Bayesian inversion of an in situ-produced 10 Be concentration depth profile to infer the average long-term erosion rate together with two other parameters: the surface exposure age and the inherited 10 Be concentration. Compared to the latest advances in probabilistic inve... Mehr ...
