Motivation for digital trench wall logging Development of a colluvial wedge Pre-earthquake Earthquake 900 years later
Mapleton, Utah “mega-trench”
Mapleton Trench Level 1 Colluvial Wedge Channel Deposit 1 meter 1 meter Debris Flow 1 m • Develop a rock segmentation algorithm to separate clasts from matrix. • Determine whether colluvial wedges, debris flows and channel deposits can be statistically differentiated.

Mapleton Trench Level 1 Colluvial Wedge Channel Deposit 1 meter Debris Flow 1 m • Algorithm successfully separates rocks from fill – 80% accuracy. • Can colluvial wedges, debris flows and channel deposits be statistically differentiated? Compare: Orientation, Eccentricity, Percent Rock
Colluvial Wedge 1 Orientation? Eccentricity? Percent Rock?
Colluvial Wedge 3 Orientation? Eccentricity? Percent Rock?
Debris Flow 1 Orientation? Eccentricity? Percent Rock?
Channel Deposit 1 Orientation? Eccentricity? Percent Rock?
Eccentricity 12.5% < 0.2 2.5% < 0.2 2.8% < 0.2 Channel Deposits: 32 % Colluvial Wedge: 48 % Debris Flow: 42 % Percent Rock
Mapleton Trench Level 1 Colluvial Wedge Channel Deposit 1 meter Debris Flow 1 m Can colluvial wedges, debris flows and channel deposits be statistically differentiated? Orientation – Colluvial Wedge Eccentricity, Percent Rock – Channel Deposits
Mapleton Trench Level 1 ? Colluvial Wedge ? ? Channel Deposit 1 meter ? Debris Flow 1 m Future work: • Use the segmentation algorithm to objectively log trench walls and build data for more rigorous statistics • Mars and beyond . . .
