River Science at the U.S. Geological Survey

Completed

The report identifies key variables to be monitored and data-managed in terms of river science. Specific ideas include enhancements in streamflow, biological, and sediment monitoring and include establishing multidisciplinary, integrated reach-scale monitoring sites and a comprehensive national sediment monitoring program. The USGS is encouraged to be at the forefront of new technology application, including airborne lidar and embedded, networked, wireless sensors.
