2007-2014 West River subcatchment hydrometric data, Cape Bounty

Monitoring at two subcatchments began in 2007, prior to disturbance. Some stations were abandoned due to shifting channels. Duration of observations are as follows: Goose Creek (2007-2010, 2012, 2014); Ptarmigan Creek (2007-2010, 2012, 2014); ALD05 Creek (2008-2010, 2012, 2014); Big Slide Creek (200...

Description
Summary:Monitoring at two subcatchments began in 2007, prior to disturbance. Some stations were abandoned due to shifting channels. Duration of observations are as follows: Goose Creek (2007-2010, 2012, 2014); Ptarmigan Creek (2007-2010, 2012, 2014); ALD05 Creek (2008-2010, 2012, 2014); Big Slide Creek (2008-2010); Caribou Creek (2009-2010, 2012). Hydrometric data collected include discharge, electrical conductivity, temperature and suspended sediment concentration. Data are available in both .xlsx and .csv formats. : Purpose: Five subcatchments, ranging from undisturbed to highly disturbed by 2007-2008 slope failures (active layer detachments) were gauged to assess impacts of disturbance on sediment yield and chemistry. : Summary: Not Applicable
