Outburst sediments are widely distributed in the Upper Jinsha River in the Southeastern (SE) Tibetan Plateau. In order to understand the sedimentary characteristics of these sediments, gravel fabric, particle size distribution and quartz sand surface textures were used to analyze the mesotextures an...
