  abstract = {{C}urrent assessments of the continent-to-ocean sediment budget assume that river discharge provides 11-21 {G}t/a (72-89%) of the global sediment flux to the ocean. {T}he remaining 11-28% supposedly comes mainly from glacially-derived sediments and airborne dust. {U}ntil recently, the contribution from rock coasts was estimated to represent 0.4 {G}t/a, representing only 2-4% of the total flux. {F}or the first time, and using the most complete global compilation of sea cliff recession rates in {E}urope, this study evaluates the rock coast contribution to sediment flux. {W}e show that this sediment flux has been largely underestimated, and reveal that cliff derived sediment supply is only three times less than the solid discharge of rivers (111 & {PLUSMN}; 65 vs. 290 {M}t/a) for {E}urope. {T}his new estimate of the rock coast erosion should be included in future studies on the evolution of the surficial {E}arth system.},
