Bigger than bedload: Size distribution, residence time, and channel evolution implications of bedrock blocks in rapidly incising rivers

This is a poster presented in November 2015 at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Baltimore, MD, USA. The poster describes modeling work on the influence of hillslope-derived blocks on river erosion. It also presents field data from Boulder Creek, Colorado and the Middle Fork Popo Agie River, Wyoming. Field data from Boulder Creek was collected and analyzed by Moana Sato, who was an intern with the NSF-funded Research Experience for Community College Students (RECCS) program at the University of Colorado. Some of the ideas in this poster were incorporated into Shobe et al (2016, Geophysical Research Letters).
