A moving window analysis for exploring landscape and geologic controls on spatial patterning of streambank groundwater discharge

Preferential groundwater discharge to streams and rivers is important for a range of hydrologic and ecological functions, from providing baseflow and thermal refuge to delivering excess nutrients and other contaminants. Improving our understanding of the spatial distribution and longitudinal extent of these groundwater expressions necessitates updated mapping and modeling techniques. Here we provide the dataset and code that enables the research community to replicate our moving window analysis which was used to analyze riverscape and landscape attributes along 5th order study river sections of the Farmington and Housatonic Rivers (a 26km river section near Tariffville, CT; and a 12km river section near Ashley Falls, MA, USA, respectively).
