Summary

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. These data contain all raw field metrics from the in-channel habitat assessment as well as the rapid riparian assessment. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government.
