denudation chronology
Denudation chronology is the study of the long-term evolution of topography seen as sequence. Denudation chronology revolves around episodes of landscape-wide erosion, better known as denudation. The cycle of erosion model is a common approach used to establish denudation chronologies.{{cite encyclopedia|last=Jones|first=David K.C.|editor-link=Andrew Goudie (geographer) |editor-last=Goudie|editor-first=A.S. |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Geomorphology |title=Cycle of erosion|year=2004|pages=244–248}}
