Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Relative ages of rock glaciers and talus of the La Sal Mountains, Utah, were determined using several techniques: lichenometry, Schmidt-hammer rebound value, clast roundness, clast surface roughness, and weathering rind thickness. The techniques were compared against one another and evaluated as to their effectiveness.
