Organic matter, \nmore specifically organic carbon, is abundant in Fanno Creek and has been tied to a \nvariety of water-quality concerns. Since organic carbon is commonly found in the fine-grained, \norganic-rich sediment covering much of the watershed, developing a better understanding of \nsediment transport dynamics should greatly improve the quality of restoration efforts underway. \nTo address this, a geomorphic approach was adopted, including mapping fine sediment erosion \nand deposition and measuring changes in sediment. Erosion and deposition mapping within \nthe geomorphic floodplain in the summer of 2012 was used to identify specific sources and \nsinks of fine sediment and other features that might potentially contribute to the sediment \ncycle. The distribution of mapped features along Fanno Creek varies by reach. Areas having \na high potential for erosion were greatest in the uppermost basin although other middle and \nlower basin reaches had relatively large areas subject to erosion. Areal deposition is largest \nin wide, low gradient wetland reaches such as in the middle basin.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9B4URBT", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.3e7ddcf8-9ff8-4f86-af38-399df7c117c1.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_3e7ddcf8-9ff8-4f86-af38-399df7c117c1", "keyword": ["Beaverton", "Fanno Creek", "Oregon", "Pacific Northwest", "Tigard", "Tualatin River", "USGS:3e7ddcf8-9ff8-4f86-af38-399df7c117c1", "carbon", "deposition", "environment", "erosion", "floodplain", "fluvial geomorphology", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "organic matter", "sediment transport", "urban stream"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-122.798199, 45.392482, -122.698497, 45.488730", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Erosion and deposition for Fanno Creek, Oregon 2012"}
