Geomorphic Assessments Video Still

Opening screen of Day in the Life of a Hydrologist - Performing Geomorphic Assessments (Pennsylvania Water Science Center).

The USGS has been conducting geomorphic assessments to assess the sediment response of stream restoration practices in the Turtle Creek watershed. This research supports the Northcentral Stream Partnership’s goal to bring the region’s local waterways back to health while maintaining a working agricultural landscape.



Check out a short video from one of the PAWSC scientists working on this project for a sneak peek into a (snowy) field day when doing these assessments. From surveying the channel dimensions of the stream to measuring sediment deposition with a soil probe, there are many moving parts for a complete assessment, and we are prepared for whatever the weather has in store!
