  abstract = {{B}e-10 and {C}l-36 {C}osmic {R}ay {E}xposure ({CRE}) dating performed on river polished surfaces of river gorges in a mountain-to-sea river system in the {F}rench {SW} {A}lps highlights transient erosional events involving incision rates >10 mm a(-1). {T}hese events took place during the last two major deglaciation phases following (1) the {L}ast {G}lacial {M}aximum ({LGM}) at 16-14 ka, (2) the {Y}ounger {D}ryas at 8-11 ka, and during the warm and humid {H}olocene climatic optimum at 4-5 ka. {T}hese periods of high incision rates (3->30 mm a(-1)) alternated with periods of low incision rates (<1 mm a(-1)), which probably correspond to a long-term equilibrium between incision and relative uplift. {T}he {A}lpine river staircase shape profiles evidence local and transient responses that are ascribed to cumulate disequilibrium after the long-time spanned glaciations. {A}fter each glaciation, rivers rush down to get closer to their equilibrium profile. {I}ncision is amplified both by the sediment discharge due to the erosion of moraines and by landslides triggered by the glacier retreat.},
