Underwater passive acoustic monitoring was conducted at multiple sites on rivers in the Willamette River Basin, Oregon. Hydrophones were used to record the sound associated with coarse river-bed sediment (bedload) movement. Bedload supply and transport are key factors determining channel morphology in gravel-bed rivers and can affect reach-scale conditions such as aggradation and...

This data release contains the model inputs, outputs, and source code (written in R) for a redeveloped PRObability of Streamflow PERmanence (PROSPER) model (version 2.1) that had previously been developed for the Pacific Northwest Region (PROSPER_PNW_2), and a raster data set which shows where influential predictor values were outside the range of calibration data. The PROSPER-PNW...

This data release contains the watershed ancillary data that were used as input for a set of dynamic Spatially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) models for watersheds draining to Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington for the years 2005 - 2020. The SPARROW models were used to estimate mean seasonal total nitrogen and total phosphorous conditions and...

This data release contains two data sets: 1) the model application data for a set of dynamic total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes; Schwarz and others, 2006, https://doi.org/10.3133/tm6B3) load models that were developed for watersheds draining to Washington waters of the Salish Sea (Puget Sound region) 2005 through...

This model archive summary documents the suspended fines (grain sizes 0.0625mm) concentration model developed to compute 5-minute suspended fines concentration data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and...

This model archive summary documents the suspended sand (grain sizes > 0.0625mm) concentration model developed to compute 5-minute suspended sand concentration data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and...

This model archive summary documents the suspended sediment concentration (SSC) model (version 2.0) developed to compute 5-minute SSC data of the Columbia River at Port Westward, near Quincy, OR, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) site number 14246900. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in USGS Techniques and Methods, Book 3, Chap. C2 (Edwards and others, 1999); Office of...

This dataset consists of repeat vegetation cover maps of multiple Willamette River restoration sites where restoration activities were implemented to increase the area of floodplain forests. Beginning in the early 21st century, large-scale restoration programs have been implemented along the Willamette River, Oregon, to address historical losses of floodplain habitats for native fish...

Water-surface elevations were recorded by 12 submerged pressure transducers deployed from fall 2017 to summer 2018 along an approximately 25-km reach of the Siletz River, Oregon. All pressure transducers were deployed in the main channel of the Siletz River. The water-surface elevations were surveyed by using a real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) at each pressure...

The active channel of the Willamette River in western Oregon is the portion of the floodplain that regularly conveys water and bed-material sediment (typically sand and gravel) on an annual basis (Wallick and others, 2013). The active channel comprises features such as gravel bars, side channels, main channel and alcoves that contribute to the overall diversity of aquatic and floodplain...

The floodplains of the Willamette River and its major tributaries in western Oregon comprise a diverse array of natural and human-modified features that collectively support a wide range of habitats used by native fish and other wildlife. Like other large alluvial rivers, the Willamette River floodplain has many water bodies disconnected from the main river channel throughout most of the...

In June and September, 2022, NV5 Geospatial collected aerial imagery and near-infrared (NIR) lidar from crewed aircraft over 62 square kilometers over headwater streams in the Donner und Blitzen River watershed in southeastern Oregon. Repeat data were collected along Mud Creek and Bridge Creek on the western slope of Steens Mountain. This data release includes orthoimagery and lidar data
