TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 533: Handbook for Predicting Stream Meander Migration describes the application of a stream prediction methodology and provides illustrated examples for applying the methodology. The handbook includes NCHRP CD-ROM 48 that contains an ArcView-based data logger and channel migration predictor.
TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Web Document 67: Methodology for Predicting Channel Migration documents and presents the results of a study to develop NCHRP Report 533: Handbook for Predicting Stream Meander Migration, a stand-alone handbook for predicting stream meander migration using aerial photographs and maps. A companion product to NCHRP Web Document 67 is NCHRP CD 49: Archived River Meander Bend Database, a four-CD-ROM set that contains a database of 141 meander sites containing 1,503 meander bends on 89 rivers in the United States.
A summary of NCHRP Report 533 that was published in a November-December 2004 issue of the TR News is available.
