\begin{abstract}
The weathering of continental surfaces and the transport of sediments
via rivers into the oceans is an integral part of the dynamic processes
that shape the Earth's surface. To understand how tectonic and climatic
forcings control regional rates of weathering, we must be able to
identify their effects on sedimentary archives over geologic timescales.
Cosmogenic nuclides are a valuable tool to study rates of surface
processes and have long been applied in fluvial systems to quantify
basin-wide erosion rates. However, in large rivers, continual processes
of erosion and deposition during sediment transport make it difficult to
constrain how long sediments spend within the fluvial system. In this
study, we examine the role of rivers in transmitting and buffering
perturbations to the continental erosional signal by constraining the
timescales of fluvial transport in large rivers across the world. We
apply a stochastic numerical model based on measurements of cosmogenic
nuclides concentrations and calculate sediment residence times of
10\^{}4-10\^{}5 years in large rivers. These timescales are equal to or
longer than climatic cycles, entailing that changes to rates of
weathering brought on by climatic variations are buffered during
transport in large rivers and are not manifested in the sedimentary
record.%
