Summary

This dataset contains tabular data at three scales (city, tract, and synoptic site) and related vector shapefiles (for watersheds or buffers around synoptic sites) for areas included in the Carbon in Urban River Biogeochemistry Project (CURB) to assess how social, built, and biophysical factors shape aquatic functions. The city scale included 486 urban areas in the continental United States with greater than 50,000 residents. Tabular data are provided for each urban area (CURB_CensusUrbanArea.csv) and all U.S. Census tracts within seven urban areas (Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA, Miami, FL, Phoenix, AZ, Portland, OR, Salt Lake City, UT, and San Francisco, CA; CURB_CensusTract.csv) to characterize a range of social, built, and biophysical [...]

Purpose

The primary objective of the Carbon in Urban River Biogeochemistry Project (CURB) is to assess how human and biophysical controls on riverine dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations, characteristics, and bioavailability vary across geographies and urban context. This dataset provides vector and tabular data describing social, built, and biophysical factors that are expected to shape aquatic functions.
