| Abstract | Quantitative understanding of erosion rates under several geomorphic and geological settings is important to discuss the process of erosion. We investigated basin-averaged erosion rates from cosmogenic B n quartz grains from river sediments in Yakushima. Erosion rates in Yakushima are relatively low within a similar range to those in regions of several times lower rainfall than Yakushima. This finding suggests that rainfall is not necessarily a causal factor of landform evolution. In this presentation, we focus on a pattern of hillslope erosion and a process of landform evolution in Yakushima. |
