Abstract

This dataset is a compilation of 993 measurements of riverbank erosion or migration rates from 336 rivers and streams compiled from 169 published English language studies. The dataset spans rivers across latitudes ranging from 46 deg south to 71 deg north. The rivers range in drainage area from 0.6 to 3 million square kilometers. If provided in a published study, recorded channel width, river drainage area, and sediment load and/or yield were summarized. In the absence of these ancillary data from the original source, this data was compiled from other published studies, global and regional datasets, or measured from Google Earth images. The dataset also provides information on whether the rates were measured at an individual river bend or represent reach-based averages, as well as, whether the river is single or multi-threaded.Revisions 2023 January updateAdded 72 new erosion measurements. Dropped 10 records that did not have mean erosion values.“DrainageArea(km^2)_rabpro” added“DrainageArea(km^2)” – updated to only include published drainage area and values obtained from sources other than the rabpro analysis.“River_slope_pub” added to provide river slope values provided in the published erosion study or other source listed in the “Slope Reference” field“RiverSlope_Lin” added“FLO1K_MonthlyMax_LT” and “FLO1K_MontlyMax_PoR” added“KG_Zone” added from Köppen-geiger climate classification based onmore » Beck et al. 2018« less

River bank erosion and accretion rates, and planform metrics of the East River, downstream of Gothic Colorado over intervals between 1955 and 2015

Dataset Rowland, Joel ; Stauffer, Sophie

This dataset provides the tabular summary of analysis of an alluvial floodplain reach of the East River, downstream of Gothic, CO near Crested Butte. The measurements include bank erosion and accretion rates, channel width, bank curvature, and the aspect/orientation of the river banks. The measurements were derived from binary masks of the location of the river channel from aerial and satellite imagery collected on seven dates over a sixty-year timespan: 1955, 1973, 1983, 1990, 2001, 2011, and 2015. The masks were analyzed using the Spatially Continuous Riverbank Erosion and Accretion Measurements (SCREAM) software detailed in Rowland et al. 2016. Themore »« less

Supporting data for "Frozen flume experiments indicate rapid permafrost riverbank erosion depends on bank roughness"

Dataset Douglas, Madison ; Litwin Miller, Kimberly ; Schmeer, Maria ; ...

This dataset contains supporting files detailing five frozen flume experiments conducted at the Caltech Earth Surface Dynamics Laboratory to investigate rates of ablation-limited permafrost riverbank erosion under controlled conditions. Water flowed past a bank of saturated, frozen sand and ice and gradually eroded the bank by thawing pore ice and immediately entraining sand and washing it downstream. Experiments were scaled for flow hydraulics and heat transfer allowing comparisons between our results and natural permafrost riverbanks. For each experiment, we measured the initial and final sand bank topography using a Keyence laser scanner, water surface slope at 3-min intervals throughout themore »« less
Timeseries Photos and (Meta)Data of Variably Inundated Streams Across The Yakima River Basin, Washington, United States

Dataset Renteria, Lupita ; Bao, Jie ; Chen, Yunxiang ; ...

These game camera time series photos (.jpg) and associated metadata (.csv) are from the “River Monitoring Photos” (RMP) study that is ongoing. The purpose of these photos is to evaluate stream variable inundation via changes in width. The metadata has not been QAQC’d. Future versions will include the QAQC’d metadata, additional (meta)data, and additional photos. We thank the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation Tribal Council and Yakama Nation Fisheries for working with us to facilitate sample collection and optimization of data usage according to their values and worldview.
