The “quartz-monitor” research project investigates the intrinsic chemical variations of detrital monocrystalline quartz and inclusions (mineral and melt) as an innovative sediment provenance tool. The ...

Since physical and chemical erosion yield comparable carbon fluxes, studying both together is essential to avoid biases in erosion-driven carbon flux estimates.
