Use of the schmidt test hammer to detect enhanced boulder weathering under late‐lying snowpatches
Abstract Ballantyne et al. (1989) presented data that show a significant reduction in Schmidt hammer rebound values for boulders buried by late‐lying snow. McCarroll (1990) questions these findings on the grounds of sampling design, methodology and unexpectedly rapid weathering of boulders at one re...
