U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a stream surveying campaign from the 25th of April to the 10th of June in 2022 at 100-meter reaches throughout 30 streams on the Delmarva Peninsula. In each stream reach, the following survey measurements were made or attempted: three representative channel cross sections, water surface elevation at the top and bottom of each reach, and longitudinal thalweg point data. The survey data will be used with additional geomorphological measurements and habitat information to assess habitat quality of these Delmarva Peninsula streams.

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a stream surveying campaign from the 25th of April to the 10th of June in 2022 at 100m reaches throughout 30 streams on the Delmarva Peninsula. The goal was to collect three cross sections, water surface elevation at the top and bottom of each reach, and thalweg point data at each study location to use the geomorphological surveys alongside habitat information. Together, these two sources of data can be used to create a habitat assessment of Delmarva Peninsula streams.

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a data collection campaign from the 25th of April to the 10th of June in 2022, using various methods to record geomorphic and habitat indicators throughout streams on the Delmarva Peninsula. Field methods included GNSS surveys, gravelometer-based pebble count readings, visual assessments, and riparian analyses. These data contain all recorded field metrics from the in-channel habitat assessment as well as the rapid riparian assessment.

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a data collection campaign from the 26th of July to the 13th of August in 2021, using various methods to record geomorphic and habitat indicators throughout streams in the Shenandoah Valley. Field methods included GNSS surveys, gravelometer-based pebble count readings, visual assessments, and riparian analyses. This metadata record contains all recorded observations from the campaign as well as numerous summary metrics to be used in model development. Those "model-ready" data can be found in Typ1_Summary_Metrics.csv in the parent item, while the two child items containing recorded in-channel observations and recorded survey data. Attached to this release is a data dictionary containing general information about Typ1_Summary_Metrics.csv. This information can be found in the Summary_Metrics_Dictionary.csv file. The various data collected in this data release fall into the following categories describing both reach average and heterogeneity: - Study Information - Internal site ID - Riparian Statistics - Monarch Presence - Riparian assessment score - Riparian canopy cover - Active floodplain width - Bank Statistics - Bank erosion rates - Bank vegetation - Modified BEHI score - Total to bankfull ratio - Bank angle - Total bank height - Legacy sediment depth - In-Channel Statistics - Wetted width - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Bankfull width - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Bankfull height - Pebble count - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Embeddedness - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Fine sediment depth - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Water depth - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Flow type - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - In-channel canopy cover - Vegetation coverage - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Fish habitat coverage - Average - Heterogeneity metrics - Woody debris - Survey Metrics - Thalweg sinuosity - Longitudinal roughness - Water surface slope - Cross section - Bankfull area - Total channel area - Total to bankfull area ratio - Cross sectional roughness - Wetted perimeter Additionally, the following child items can be found attached to this data release: - Recorded Field Observations: All unsummarized data collected by field team members from the Habitat Assessment field teams. - Recorded Survey Data: All coordinate data from surveying campaign collected by Habitat Assessment field teams.

Each year from 2021 to 2024, teams from the U.S. Geological Survey and the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) studied 30 streams with a targeted gradient of land use and conservation practices across the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The four years of the study cover the following geographic areas and land use characteristics (generally referred to as typologies in associated data sets): Shenandoah Valley and Ridge pasture Delmarva row crop Pennsylvania and Maryland Piedmont mixed agriculture Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia developed Piedmont The data here provide site names and basic identifiers that are commonly used in the many data releases associated with the larger study and serve as a key to match site ID with locations and data. Specific site location is limited to a HUC12 scale due to requests of privacy from landowners who granted access and permission.

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a stream survey campaign from the 26th of July to the 13th of August in 2021 at thirty 100-meter reaches within the Shenandoah Valley throughout Virginia and West Virginia. In each stream reach, the following survey measurements were made or attempted: three representative channel cross sections, water surface elevation at the top and bottom of each reach, and longitudinal thalweg point data. The survey data will be used with additional geomorphological measurements and habitat information to assess habitat quality of these Shenandoah Valley streams.
