Segregation ice fracturing of river bank rock: implications for width of bedrock channels
Alden L. Segregation ice fracturing of river bank rock: implications for width of bedrock channels. Research Permit and Reporting System
In July, 2013 we studied the bedrock reach of the Tuolumne River from the meadows downstream to Glen Aulin. Our principal finding pertaining to the purpose of the study was a statistically significant difference in joint/fracture densities in the Kcp unit between outcrops on the river bank and proximal hillslopes. This difference may result from the river providing a resevoir of liquid water, facilitating segregation ice growth. This finding motivates the work now underway on the Modelumne.
