Module 1

Everything between the orange lines signifies the valley surrounding the Logan River. The purple line represents the active river channel, which is the Logan River. The valley seems to be where the Logan River used to meander and use as a floodplain. Through channelization of the stream and increased stream incision, the Logan River rarely connects to this floodplain. 

Purple signifies the active channel, and yellow represents the more active floodplain used by the Logan River in this area. I came to this conclusion because the banks along the river right have more established concrete structures and are higher up from the river left. In red is the fluvial terrace.

This image gives a glimpse of the river's channelization and the lack of habitat diversity in this section of the Logan River. 

From this video, you can see that on the right, old concrete seems to be eroding away, and on the left, boulders have been put in to stop erosion. Both are contributing to the river's incision in this section. 

This picture shows that the riverbank on the left is high up and quite steeper than the bank on the right. In times of flooding, the river will first flood there, as signified in yellow in Figure 2.

In the video, we get a closer look at the concrete on the left side and the gradual rock bank on the right. This rock bank on the right is the only graduated river edge in this area and leads primarily into someone's property next to the park. The steep riverbank on the left is seen eroding away and lacks vegetation and is primarily composed of concrete and boulders. 

Lots of erosion occurring along the rivers right throughout this park area. It seems concrete was used in the past to prevent erosion and channel movement, but without vegetation, the area seems to be eroding more. 

In the more active floodplain area, there was a tall pile of rocks similar to the ones placed along the river's banks in the park. 

Mallard ducks are seen at the park near the rock bar and the most gradual riverbank access in the park.
