Great Lakes seamless topobathymetric digital elevation models and shaded relief maps Great Lakes seamless topobathymetric digital elevation models and shaded relief maps
Modifications were made to existing great lakes topobathy data sets to interpolate areas of missing near shore elevation data. Areas with missing elevation data were not interpolated where there was low confidence in the underlying depth. This included rivers, canals, harbors, lakes, reservoirs, etc. Areas important for targeting Phragmites australis management often lie within these...
Anesthetic properties of carbon dioxide on native and invasive fishes Anesthetic properties of carbon dioxide on native and invasive fishes
This study evaluated the anesthetic properties of dissolved carbon dioxide on six fish species to determine its efficacy for use in sedating wild caught fish for surgeries. Phase I of this study aimed to inform induction time, recovery time, and short-term survival of fish using five different concentrations of carbon dioxide at one water temperature. Phase II determined the induction...
Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Crayfish Acute Toxicity of Carbon Dioxide to Crayfish
This study evaluated the use of dissolved carbon dioxide as a control method for invasive crayfish. Five concentrations of CO2 were administered to twenty-four test tanks at a water temperature of 5°C. Initially, Red Swamp Crayfish (RSC; Procambarus clarkii) were intended to be the test species used in the study. However, problems with obtaining a healthy population of RSC occurred, so...
High spatial resolution sensor-based surface water quality along 540 kilometers of the Illinois Waterway, 2022 and 2023 High spatial resolution sensor-based surface water quality along 540 kilometers of the Illinois Waterway, 2022 and 2023
In support of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)-Next Generation Water Observing System (NGWOS) program, water quality data were collected in 2022-2023 in the Illinois River Basin—the third USGS Integrated Water Science (IWS) basin. These data were collected to document spatial heterogeneity in water quality across seasons and hydrologic conditions and to improve predictions of carbon and...
Upper Mississippi River native mussel sampling quadrat 10, 100, 500 and 1000-meter radius hydrologically-enforced buffers and associated landscape metric calculations Upper Mississippi River native mussel sampling quadrat 10, 100, 500 and 1000-meter radius hydrologically-enforced buffers and associated landscape metric calculations
A systematic sampling design was developed to sample mussels in Upper Mississippi River navigation pools 3, 5, 6, 8, 13 and 18. Hydrologically-enforced buffers were created at a hierarchy of scales to better determine the extent of influence on mussel population assemblages. Buffers were generated using a radii of 10, 100, 500 and 1,000 meters from the quadrat site point. Several...
Data from the Study of Stream Corridor Sources of Suspended Sediment and Phosphorus in Plum Creek, Wisconsin, 2016-2018 Data from the Study of Stream Corridor Sources of Suspended Sediment and Phosphorus in Plum Creek, Wisconsin, 2016-2018
Geomorphic assessment and sediment data were collected in 2017 for an integrated sediment fingerprinting and stream corridor-based sediment budget study of Plum Creek, a tributary to the Lower Fox River and Green Bay, Wisconsin. Data were collected for 30 stream reaches and include quantitative and qualitative measurements of channel geometry, bank and gully erosion, soft bed sediment...
Estimates of microcystin concentration and content using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on samples collected from experiments on cyanobacteria in the Great Lakes and field data from the Mississippi River Estimates of microcystin concentration and content using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on samples collected from experiments on cyanobacteria in the Great Lakes and field data from the Mississippi River
From 2017-2019, the Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (UMESC) analyzed microcystin concentrations in samples collected from three different studies. The first study was on the movement and distribution of invasive carp (Bighead Carp, Silver Carp, Grass Carp) in the upper Mississippi River between lock and dam 16 and lock and dam 19. Samples were collected from May through...
Greater white-fronted goose Anser albifrons habitat use in Louisiana in winter, 2016-2019 (ver. 2.0, December 2025) Greater white-fronted goose Anser albifrons habitat use in Louisiana in winter, 2016-2019 (ver. 2.0, December 2025)
Greater White-fronted Geese Anser albifrons breed in Arctic habitats in North America and winter in the California Central Valley, Mexico and southern United States. Louisiana historically provided winter habitat to a large portion of the Greater White-fronted Goose population in North America. We used global positioning system (GPS) neck collars to monitor 78 Greater White-fronted Geese...
Microbial concentrations derived from laboratory experiments with hemodialyzers performed in Marshfield, Wisconsin Microbial concentrations derived from laboratory experiments with hemodialyzers performed in Marshfield, Wisconsin
Laboratory experiments conducted in 2023 by the Laboratory for Infectious Disease and the Environment (LIDE) evaluated recovery of microorganisms by dead-end ultrafiltration using the Nipro Elisio™ hemodialyzer, with comparison to the Asahi Kasei Rexeed™ hemodialyzer. Experiments included 2 bacteria, 4 viruses, and 1 protozoan, including Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella enterica serovar...
occupancy_correlated_error occupancy_correlated_error
This code may be used to fit Bernoulli-binomial models with latent group effects on both the Bernoulli and binomial parameters, where the former may be seasonally dependent. This model may be used to fit site (sampling unit) occupancy models, where the Bernoulli and binomial parameters and the grouping factor denote the probability of site occupancy, conditional probability of species...
Data and Code Release: Copper-based control of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) settlement and non-target impacts on Lake Minnetonka: Treatment and Post application monitoring (2019-2022) Data and Code Release: Copper-based control of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) settlement and non-target impacts on Lake Minnetonka: Treatment and Post application monitoring (2019-2022)
We conducted and evaluated a low-dose copper treatment (applied as EarthTec QZ) to suppress zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) veliger abundance and settlement in a 66.3 ha bay in Lake Minnetonka (Hennepin County, MN) over a 3-y period. We maintained a mean (standard deviation [SD]) concentration of 83.0 (10.3) µg/L as copper over the 10-d treatment period, much lower than the maximum...
Analysis data for reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) niche modeling in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forest understories Analysis data for reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) niche modeling in Upper Mississippi River floodplain forest understories
This dataset contains the information used to perform ecological niche modeling for reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) in floodplain forests of the Upper Mississippi River, USA. We used presence and absence of reed canarygrass from US Army Corps of Engineers forest inventory plots sampled between 2008-2018 as our response variable along with several predictor variables derived from...
