ABSTRACT:

Water levels measured with a pressure transducer (PT) downstream of the BDAs in Red Canyon Creek. PT accuracy is +/- 1 cm. See Figure 1 in Davis et al. (2021) for PT installation location.

ABSTRACT:

These shapefiles outline the two reaches of interest in Red Canyon Creek: the experimental reach with the beaver dam analogues (BDAs) and the upstream reference reach. These shapefiles were used as masks when differencing the elevation data (2018 and 2019 DEMs) using Geomorphic Change Detection (http://gcd.riverscapes.xyz/).

ABSTRACT:

Digital elevation models (DEMS; 6.9 cm/pixel) of Red Canyon Creek were created using visible light images collected during UAV flights and Structure from Motion photogrammetry. The two DEMs here are from 2018, immediately after the beaver dam analogues (BDAs) were installed, and from 2019, one year after BDA installation. The provided files are ASCII text files that can be easily converted to raster format in ArcMap and ArcGIS Pro. The coordinate system is WGS 84 / UTM Zone 12N (EPSG::32612).

ABSTRACT:

A series of beaver dam analogues (BDAs) were installed in Red Canyon Creek near Lander, WY, in 2018. Channel form was measured immediately after BDA installation and after one year of restoration efforts (July 2019), using data collected with a total station and with UAV surveys. The files in this collection include visible light orthomosaics and digital elevation models created from UAV data, water levels measured with pressure transducers, and topographic data collected with the total station. The orthomosaics can be found in the linked Zenodo repository (under Related Resources). These data are used in Davis et al. (2021) Evaluating the geomorphic channel response to beaver dam analog installation using unoccupied aerial vehicles.

ABSTRACT:

Topographic data were collected in Red Canyon Creek, WY, to study the impacts of beaver dam analogues on channel morphology. Using a total station, the latitude, longitude, and elevation of key locations were measured to perform QA/QC on UAV data and to georeference the UAV data.
