Description :
This study examines and quantifies spatial variations in slope profile shape and uses boulders as an index of relative sediment transport, by establishing the degree of clast burial from different plots located at points along the profile. The study site is located in northeast Jordan, an arid landscape, characterised by a late Tertiary to early Quaternary basalt plateau, spreading across the foot-slopes of the Druz Mountains.
