Prediction of anthropogenic debris and its association with geomorphology in US urban streams

To examine relationships between in-stream debris concentrations and different geomorphologic characteristics, catchment characteristics, and catchment and riparian land cover in US urban streams, we collected data on debris (>5 cm), large wood, cross-section and longitudinal profiles, and sediment sizes in 24 stream reaches in two metropolitan areas (Cleveland, Ohio; Charlotte, North Carolina). This dataset supports analyses published in: Farooq, N., Jefferson, A.J., Greising, C., Kearns, K., Muratori, S., Snyder, K. 2025.
