A practical streambank erosion model for the coastal plain of the northern Gulf of Mexico
Annual Meeting of the Geological Society of America (Denver, CO, 2016)
2016
Abstract
Predictive field-based models have been developed to rapidly identify streams that can be expected to experience accelerated erosion and should be prioritized for restoration. One of the most widely applied models, the Bank Assessment for Non-point Source Consequences of Sediment (BANCS) model, correlates observed rates of streambank erosion with near-bank stress (NBS) and bank erodibility (BEHI). The BANCS model is region specific and has to be calibrated in every hydrophysiographic
region. Our study tried to calibrate the BANCS model for the northern Gulf of Mexico coastal plain by collecting field data over a two year period at 75 sites in the Florida Panhandle, South Alabama, and Southwest Georgia
