Data for: The Influence of Highway-Stream Crossings on Stream Temperature, Aufeis, and Ter

Timothy Ensom's dataset contains four files analyzing the influence of highway bridges on Arctic streams. The data includes average daily water surface elevations from two creeks over two years, a vector shapefile of upstream catchments, and two time-lapse videos from an automatic camera. The dataset was last updated on 2026-04 25 and supports research published in Arctic Science.

Use Cases

• Modeling hydrostatic pressure and freeze-damming effects based on water surface elevation data.
• Analyzing watershed characteristics and terrain dynamics based on the provided catchment shapefile.
• Observing seasonal heave and subsidence of infrastructure and stream features based on the time-lapse videos.

Strengths

• Includes multi-modal data: tabular measurements, geospatial shapefiles, and observational videos.
• Data is tied to a peer-reviewed publication in Arctic Science, providing context and validation.
• Water elevation data is collected at a daily resolution over a two-year study period.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description does not specify the exact years of data collection for all components.
