Tracking the 26 Al/ 10 Be source-area signal in sediment-routing systems of arid central Australia Martin Struck, John D. Jansen, Toshiyuki Fujioka, Alexandru T. Codilean, David Fink, Réka-Hajnalka Fülöp, Klaus M. Wilcken, David M. Price, Steven Kotevski, L. Keith Fifield, and John Chappell Earth Surf. Dynam. Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2017-76,2018 Manuscript under review for ESurf (discussion: final response, 3 comments) Measurements of cosmogenic nuclides 10 Be and 26 Al in sediment along central Australian streams show that lithologically-controlled magnitudes of source-area erosion rates (0.2–11 m/m.y.) are preserved downstream despite sediment mixing. Conversely, downstream-increasing sediment burial signals (〉 400 k.y.) indicate sediment incorporation from adjacent, long-exposed storages, which, combined with low sediment supply and discontinuous flux, likely favours source-area 10 Be- 26 Al signal masking.
