The MoRPh Survey is a part of the Modular River Survey suite designed for Citizen Scientists to understand river function across different spatial scales. The Field Guide supports completion of the MoRPh Field Survey by providing images and text as a reference. It uses a numbering system corresponding to the survey sheets and the Technical Reference Manual for detailed information.
The guide includes MoRPh Codes for different ground cover types and materials like sediment sizes, vegetation, and physical features. It explains how to set up the survey, record channel dimensions, and categorize natural and artificial materials found in the river environment.
The Field Guide details the codes used to record natural materials like bedrock, boulders, cobble, gravel, pebble, sand, silt, and clay for bank face and channel bed. It also covers reinforcement types for bank and bed materials, along with natural and artificial bank profiles and physical features.
