The Pittsburgh Pool

The site is defined by dams at Emsworth on the Ohio, Braddock on the Monongahela and Sharpsburgh on the Allegheny River. The first year study worked on the rivers in 1/10 mile sections. (Following studies worked every other 1/10 mile section.)

  Thompson's report was the first attempt to set a standard working procedure for the 3R2N field study of riverbank woody vegetation in the Pittsburgh Pool, also known as the Emsworth Pool. The intent was to define the emergent quality of the natural environment and habitat by identifying and understanding the distribution and abundance of trees and invasive species along the stream banks in proximity to downtown Pittsburgh.

  Meyer's report was the first attempt to set a standard working procedure for the 3R2N field study of riverbank and riverberm condition and material characteristics along the Pittsburgh Pool, also known as the Emsworth Pool. The intent was to understand the relative quality and characteristics of each 1/10 mile section of rivers and then provide a quantitative understanding of relative slope, soil-material and grain size.
