A rock-surface microweathering index from Schmidt hammer R-values and its preliminary application to some common rock types in southern Norway (2016)
Journal Article
Matthews, J. A., Owen, G., Winkler, S., Vater, A. E., Wilson, P., Mourne, R., & Hill, J. (2016). A rock-surface microweathering index from Schmidt hammer R-values and its preliminary application to some common rock types in southern Norway. CATENA, 143, 35-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2016.03.018

An index of the degree of rock-surface microweathering based on Schmidt hammer R-values is developed for use in the field without laboratory testing. A series of indices - I2 to In, where n is the number of successive blows with the hammer - is first...
