2001 Upper Mississippi River Pool 8 Rake Study Data Set. 2001 Upper Mississippi River Pool 8 Rake Study Data Set.
The Yin et al. 2000 rake method is used by researchers in the Upper Mississippi River Restoration Program to estimate the distribution of submersed aquatic vegetation on the Upper Mississippi River System. Biomass data were collected in 2001 to assess if the Yin et al. 2000 method could be used to estimate biomass based on the rake density ratings. Sediment samples also were collected to...
fishStan fishStan
fishStan is an R package (R Core Team 2020) providing a collection of hierarchical Bayesian models written in the Stan language as called through RStan (Stan Development Team 2020). The package is a USGS software release. The purpose of the package is to document these models for use in USGS projects and allow easy dissemination. The package assumes the user is familiar with R and...
Heuristic MODFLOW models used to evaluate the effects of pumping groundwater from confined aquifers overlain by till confining units Heuristic MODFLOW models used to evaluate the effects of pumping groundwater from confined aquifers overlain by till confining units
This groundwater-flow model archive contains heuristic model simulations evaluating the sustainability of groundwater withdrawals from public-water-supply wells on buried glacial aquifers. A total of 40 steady-state simulations and three transient simulations were run. The steady-state simulations were developed to assess the extent and connections between buried sand aquifers by varying...
Mercury concentrations and isotopic compositions in biota and sediments from the Hannibal Pool of the Ohio River Mercury concentrations and isotopic compositions in biota and sediments from the Hannibal Pool of the Ohio River
The Hannibal Pool of the Ohio River is heavily industrialized and receives direct effluent discharges from coal power plants, chlor-alkali plants, and sewage treatment facilities. Mercury (Hg) is a contaminant of concern due to the risk of bioaccumulation at wildlife refuges also located within this region. Mercury concentrations and isotopes compositions were measured to assess the...

Bottom sediment chemical data at rivermouths and harbors along western Lake Michigan, USA, 2016 Bottom sediment chemical data at rivermouths and harbors along western Lake Michigan, USA, 2016
Streambed sediment samples were collected in October 2016 from streams tributary to Wisconsin?s western Lake Michigan shoreline. Streams included two Areas of Concern (AOCs), two non-AOC comparisons, and two additional non-AOC study areas. Within the Milwaukee Estuary AOC, samples were collected from the Milwaukee River (three subsites), the Menomonee River (two subsites), the...
Arsenic, manganese, and pH groundwater quality data, selected well construction characteristics, and aquifer assignments for wells in the conterminous U.S. Arsenic, manganese, and pH groundwater quality data, selected well construction characteristics, and aquifer assignments for wells in the conterminous U.S.
This data release contains groundwater-quality data for three parameters of interest (arsenic, manganese, and pH) and well information for sample sites for aquifers in the conterminous U.S. Water-quality data and well information were derived from a dataset compiled from three sources: the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System (NWIS), the U.S. Environmental...
Stormwater-quality data for lined permeable pavement systems in Madison, WI, from September 2016 through July 2018 Stormwater-quality data for lined permeable pavement systems in Madison, WI, from September 2016 through July 2018
This dataset describes water-quality data measured from the parking lot influent and underdrain and overflow effluent from the porous asphalt, pervious concrete, and permeable interlocking concrete paver test plots in Madison, Wisconsin, USA. Data include precipitation statistics; influent, overflow, and underdrain volumes; and concentrations and loads of total and dissolved forms of...
Mapped differences in weighted wind fetch distances within the Upper Mississippi River System between 1989 and 2011 Mapped differences in weighted wind fetch distances within the Upper Mississippi River System between 1989 and 2011
Wind fetch is defined as the unobstructed distance that wind can travel over water in a constant direction. Fetch is an important characteristic of open water because longer fetch can result in larger wind-generated waves. The larger waves, in turn, can increase shoreline erosion and sediment re-suspension. A baseline conditions assessment of wind fetch was conducted to assist the Upper
Maquoketa River Floodplain-River Connectivity 2014-2016 Data Maquoketa River Floodplain-River Connectivity 2014-2016 Data
The Maquoketa River carries some of the highest sediment and nutrient loads in the Upper Mississippi River, contributing to eutrophication and hypoxic conditions in the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. Floodplains provide the ability to remove and sequester, sediments, nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon; however effectiveness of floodplains is limited by the extent and connection of...
Distributed lakebed temperature data, Haskell Lake, Wisconsin, July 28 - Aug 1, 2016 Distributed lakebed temperature data, Haskell Lake, Wisconsin, July 28 - Aug 1, 2016
This data release consists of lakebed temperature data collected at the sediment-water interface at the north end of Haskell Lake, Lac du Flambeau Reservation, Wisconsin. Data were collected using a fiber-optic distributed temperature sensor (DTS) during a 5 day period from July 27 to August 1, 2016. Established procedures were followed to estimate lakebed temperatures from the raw DTS...
Lamprey Larvae Carcasses following Exposure to 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) or TFM plus 1% Niclosamide Data Lamprey Larvae Carcasses following Exposure to 3-trifluoromethyl-4-nitrophenol (TFM) or TFM plus 1% Niclosamide Data
To evaluate how bigheaded carps use a restored backwater habitat, their passages into and out of and residency within a backwater was monitored using acoustic telemetry. This dataset describes the results of this study and was used to compare activity of bigheaded carps between species, at a diel scale, among seasons, and how activity related of environmental conditions. Calculation of...
