Comments:
The RAF was not readily apparent in the field. We used our knowledge of the RAF from the lower segment to determine RAF in Segment B. We speculated that this segment had also incised historically. We originally thought this segment was in Stage F-IV in the field because the channel width was wider than reference (ie. channel had already narrowed). There was very little erosion. Given our uncertainty about the reference channel width, we are unsure of the channel has already widened. The RGA resulted in a score of 0.66, which on the cusp between "good" and "fair". Phase 2 channel width was used to determine phase 2 confinement type.
