Timing of exotic, far-traveled boulder emplacement and paleo-outburst flooding in the central Himalayas
<p>Large boulders, ca. 10 m in diameter or more, commonly linger in Himalayan river channels. In many cases, their lithology is consistent with source areas located more than 10 km upstream, suggesting long transport distances. The mechanisms and timing of “exotic” boulde...
