{"product_id":"2940148977506","title":"Recent Channel-Migration Rates of Selected Streams in Indiana (1998-2011)","description":"An investigation was completed to document recent \u003cbr\u003e(circa 1998 to 2011) channel-migration rates at 970 meander \u003cbr\u003ebends along 38 of the largest streams in Indiana. Data collection was completed by using the Google Earth TM platform and, for each selected site, identifying two images with capture \u003cbr\u003edates separated by multiple years. Within each image, the \u003cbr\u003eposition of the meander-bend cutbank was measured relative \u003cbr\u003eto a fixed local landscape feature visible in both images, and \u003cbr\u003ean average channel-migration rate was calculated at the point \u003cbr\u003eof maximum cutbank displacement. From these data it was \u003cbr\u003edetermined that 65 percent of the measured sites have recently \u003cbr\u003ebeen migrating at a rate less than 1 ft\/yr, 75 percent of the \u003cbr\u003esites have been migrating at a rate less than 10 ft\/yr, and while \u003cbr\u003esome sites are migrating in excess of 20 ft\/yr, these occurrences are rare. In addition, it is shown that recent channelmigration activity is not evenly distributed across Indiana. \u003cbr\u003eFor the stream reaches studied, far northern and much of far \u003cbr\u003esouthern Indiana are drained by streams that recently have \u003cbr\u003ebeen relatively stationary. At the same time, this study shows \u003cbr\u003ethat most of the largest streams in west-central Indiana and \u003cbr\u003emany of the largest streams in east-central Indiana have shown \u003cbr\u003esignificant channel-migration activity during the recent past. \u003cbr\u003eIt is anticipated that these results will support several fluvialerosion-hazard mitigation activities currently being undertaken \u003cbr\u003ein Indiana.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47079520272624,"sku":"2940148977506","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148977506_p0.jpg?v=1763710734","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148977506","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
