Bedrock Strength And River Morphology Datasets For The Colorado River System, Natalie Bursztyn, Joel Pederson

There has been renewed debate over the mechanisms and timing of both uplift and erosion in the Interior West. Yet, in order to understand the region’s long-term landscape evolution and patterns of topography a third factor of bedrock properties must be considered. We are completing a large dataset of bedrock strength and exploring it in the context of reach-scale topographic metrics for the upper Colorado River system. Included are rock-strength measures such as laboratory tensile strength, Schmidt-hammer compressive strength, approximate shale proportion, and Selby rock mass strength classification. To estimate the strength of units too incompetent to test directly, such …
