Cedar Creek Peatland Stream-Channel Mobility Data from 1938 to 2022

17 sediment cores and decadal channel migration analysis from 1938 to 2022 for Cedar Creek, Minnesota. This dataset archives data and code for a geomorphology study on floodplain subsurface composition, contributed by John Nelson via the Texas Data Repository. The collection includes field data, geospatial shapefiles, and computational models for reproducibility.

Use Cases

• Modeling bank erosion rates based on Python code and input data for numerical modeling.
• Analyzing decadal channel migration patterns based on historical migration rate measurements derived from aerial imagery.
• Studying suspended sediment transport based on Rouse profile modeling data.
• Investigating floodplain stratigraphy based on sedimentological data from 17 cores.

Strengths

• Includes data from 17 sediment cores providing stratigraphy and grain-size distributions.
• Covers a decadal temporal scope from 1938 to 2022 for channel migration analysis.
• Organized into ten distinct analysis folders with field data, geospatial datasets, and computational models.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
