A semantic caveat
This page references several datasets that are typically lumped into geomoprphic measures. Many include targeted representations from HEC-RAS models, while others are event specific field markers or hyper-resolution (sub-meter) scales in both system and measurement.
USGS High Water Marks
A Kansas Bankfull dataset
Based on Dr. Shelley’s PhD (Shelley (2012)), these natural geomorphic channel widths can be used across channel parameterization efforts. See my review for a little more detail.
Uses
These and At-A-Station hydraulic geometries can be used to constrain channel shape.
