Note: This data release has been superseded by version 2.0, available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9SP0HM1. Data Release from the High-Flow Field Experiments to Inform Everglades Restoration: Experimental Data 2010 to 2018. Data were obtained from field sites located in the Everglades between two canals (L-67A and L-67C) from 2010 to 2018. During this time, five major controlled flow releases occurred by opening the culvert S152 on canal L-67A. Data consist of water velocity (continuous and discrete), water levels (continuous and discrete), suspended sediment concentration, load and flux (discrete), suspended phosphorus concentration, load and flux (discrete), grainsize distribution (continuous and discrete),...

Data were collected between 2010 and 2022 in a research area of the Everglades known as the Decompartmentalization Physical Model (DPM), a wetland area in the central Everglades that includes canals and levees bordering Water Conservation Area 3A (WCA-3A) to the northwest and Water Conservation Area 3B (WCA-3B) to the southeast. During the twelve-year study period more than ten major controlled flow releases occurred by opening the S-152 culverts on canal L-67A that released experimental high flows through the wetland. Data consist of water levels (continuous and discrete), water velocity (continuous and discrete), bed shear stress (discrete), suspended sediment concentration (discrete), dissolved phosphorus concentration,...

I am interested in landscape dynamics, generally focused on understanding and predicting changes in the patterns and functions of landscapes in response to anthropogenic effects. The objectives of my research are to gain an understanding of the processes that control landscape form and function as well and key interactions between hydrology, sediment transport, climate, vegetation, and human impacts in a variety of settings. Examination of these processes and interactions in different environments can ultimately lead to a more general and regional perspective of landscape morphodynamics and evolution. The recent research that I have initiated at USGS is a reflection of my direction and interests. I am keenly...
