Data

Lidar data is remotely sensed high-resolution elevation data collected by an airborne collection platform. Using a combination of laser range-finding, GPS positioning and inertial measurement technologies; Lidar instruments are able to make highly detailed Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the earth's terrain, man-made structures and vegetation. Breaklines are used in surface models to...

This dataset describes the laboratory antimycin-a water sample processing data and spatial and temporal measured antimycin-a water concentrations sampled during a 2024 native fish restoration in Munson Creek Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Fintrol, containing the active ingredient antimycin-a, was applied to Munson Creek by the Crater Lake National Park Service staff and the U.S...

Large wood is an important part of ecosystem functions in rivers around the world, including serving as fish habitat, providing nutrient sources, and contributing to geomorphic processes. This dataset was produced to support the study of large wood dynamics in Pool 8 of the Upper Mississippi River System. The dataset contains 60 polygons located along shoreline of the main channel, side...

To understand how aquatic macroinvertebrate assemblages vary among side channels across a large floodplain river ecosystem, we collected macroinvertebrates from 23 side channels distributed across six reaches of the Upper Mississippi River and Illinois River and quantified taxonomic and functional indices. Within this data release, three products are included: 1) site-level environmental...

Double-crested cormorant (Phalacrocorax auritus) fresh eggs and sibling embryos at pipping were collected from a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)- contaminated colony in Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA. Egg contents were analyzed for organochlorine (OC) contaminants, including 15 aryl hydrocarbon-active PCB congeners. Concentrations of 20 organochlorine contaminants present in double-crested...

To support floodplain forest research and management actions on the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS), areas of forest loss, gain and persistence at least 0.1 hectare in size from 2010 to 2020 were mapped and analyzed. This forest cover transition data will allow researchers the ability to examine rates and patterns of forest cover loss, gain, and persistence and compare multiple...

Native freshwater mussels are a substantial resource of concern to resource managers because of their contribution to aquatic ecosystems, First Foods status for Native American tribes, and general imperilment. As such, resource managers in the USFWS Lower Great Lakes Fish and Wildlife Conservation Office partnered with USGS to characterize the native freshwater mussel assemblage in the...

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program, through its Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element, collected aerial imagery of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during the summer of 2020. A Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) spatial database was developed based on the 2020 aerial imagery, which adds a fourth systemic-wide database to...

This dataset describes in vitro Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) RTgill-W1gill cell cytotoxicity assay fluorescence data used to estimate the effective concentration to cause 50% viability (EC50) of cells following antimycin A (complex and individual homologs) exposure. Antimycin A dosing stocks were analytically verified using high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem triple

The Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District is planning an unprecedented closure of the Illinois Waterway in 2020 in order to perform required maintenance on locks. Aerial imagery will document river conditions prior to the closure (2019) and after the locks are reopened (2021). Under a separate but related effort, aerial imagery of the entire Illinois Waterway will be collected in 2020...

To establish benthic conditions before construction of an Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program habitat restoration and enhancement project (HREP) in Navigation Pool 13, we sampled native freshwater mussels, tubers from watercelery (Vallisneria americana) plants, and surficial sediment with a stratified systematic survey design from 9/24/2024 to 10/4/2024. About 300 sites were...

This dataset includes freshwater drum age data from five study reaches of the Mississippi River and one study reach from the Illinois River as presented in the manuscript Life history traits and population dynamics of Freshwater Drum across large river gradients. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S...
