This data package was created 2025-01-14 14:13:23 by NPSTORET and includes selected project, location, and result data. Data were collected following a catastrophic flood that occurred in the Staunton River Watershed and other watersheds in Shenandoah National Park. The objective of the study was to compare the pre- and post-flood status of physical habitat, stream chemistry, and fish community in the Staunton River. Project collaborators included Shenandoah National Park, University of Virginia, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Forest Service, and Virginia Tech. Data contained in Shenandoah National Park - University of Virginia NPSTORET back-end file (NPS_UVA_NPSTORET_BE_20250108.ACCDB) were filtered to include: Project: - SHEN_UVA_STAN_1995_FLOOD: Understanding the 1995 Staunton River Flood Event in Shenandoah National Park Station: - Include Trip QC And All Station Visit Results Park/Unit Code: - SHEN Value Status: - Accepted or Certified (exported as Final) or Final The data package is organized into five data tables: - Projects.csv - describes the purpose and background of the monitoring efforts - Locations.csv - documents the attributes of the monitoring locations/stations - Results.csv - contains the field measurements, observations, and/or lab analyses for each sample/event/data grouping - HUC.csv - enumerates the domain of allowed values for 8-digit and 12-digit hydrologic unit codes utilized by the Locations datatable - Characteristics.csv - enumerates the domain of characteristics available in NPSTORET to identify what was sampled, measured or observed in Results Period of record for filtered data is 1997-05-08 to 2000-12-08.
