- Description
- The measurement of hillslope erosion can be a difficult, costly and time-consuming activity. Many techniques are available, ranging from using environmental tracers, to LiDAR. Erosion measurements using erosion pins are assessed and compared with regional scale erosion data, hillslope data obtained using ¹³⁷Cs and erosion modelling results. The pins produced erosion rates which are within the range determined using ¹³⁷Cs and model data but above that of regional denudation rates. Our findings demonstrate that inexpensive erosion pins can provide reliable data on hillslope erosion.
