Boulder distribution refers to the study of how large rocks or boulders are scattered or distributed across a landscape. This research area focuses on understanding the processes that lead to boulder formation, transport, and deposition, as well as the factors that influence their distribution patterns. Boulder distribution research is important for understanding past geological events, such as glacial movements or landslides, and can also provide insights into present-day erosion and sedimentation processes. Additionally, this research can help assess the potential hazards associated with boulder fields in terms of infrastructure development and land use planning.
