2020 Aquatic Areas - Upper Mississippi River System (ver. 2.0, July 2025) 2020 Aquatic Areas - Upper Mississippi River System (ver. 2.0, July 2025)
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...
Isle Royale National Park Vegetation Change Analysis 1996 to 2017 Isle Royale National Park Vegetation Change Analysis 1996 to 2017
Vegetation change is an important issue facing managers at Isle Royale National Park (ISRO). These data were created using high-resolution imagery collected in the winter of 2017 which was compared to the vegetation map of the National Park published in 2000 (project imagery collected in 1994 and 1996). These data review where vegetation cover type, density, and pattern have changed...
Aquaculture and Irrigation Water Use Model 2.0 Software Aquaculture and Irrigation Water Use Model 2.0 Software
The Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the US and extracts more than 11 km3/year for irrigation activities. The heavy drivers of groundwater use are aquaculture and crops, which include rice, cotton, corn, and soybeans (Wilson, 2021). Consequently, groundwater-level declines in the MAP region (Clark and others, 2011) pose a substantial...
Airborne Thermal Infrared and High-resolution True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, Upper Donner und Blitzen River Basin, Oregon, August 2020 Airborne Thermal Infrared and High-resolution True-color Imagery and Longitudinal Profiles of Stream Temperatures, Upper Donner und Blitzen River Basin, Oregon, August 2020
This dataset includes georeferenced, high-resolution, airborne thermal infrared (TIR) and high-resolution true-color imagery, a polyline shapefile of the channel centerline, a polyline shapefile with TIR sample points for longitudinal stream temperature profiles, and a tabular file with longitudinal stream temperature profiles for the Donner und Blitzen River and its tributaries, Oregon...
Physical and Hydraulic Monitoring on the Yellowstone River Fish Bypass Channel, Montana, May 2022 to August 2023 Physical and Hydraulic Monitoring on the Yellowstone River Fish Bypass Channel, Montana, May 2022 to August 2023
This data release was produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation to present the results of monitoring efforts on the Yellowstone River fish bypass channel according to the specifications of the Lower Yellowstone Adaptive Management and Monitoring Plan. The fish bypass channel was constructed to provide upstream migrating fish with a route...
Vegetation survey and photointerpretation data for Metzger Marsh, OH, USA (1994-2022) Vegetation survey and photointerpretation data for Metzger Marsh, OH, USA (1994-2022)
These datasets represent USGS-led coastal wetland vegetation survey and mapping efforts at Metzger Marsh, part of the Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge (Ohio, USA) along the coast of western Lake Erie between 1994 and 2022. Vegetation quadrat data provide percent cover estimates per sampling quadrat and overall mean percent cover (MPC) values per species by vegetation type from 1994, and...

Imputed daily salinity and associated covariates to support statistical modeling for 91 salinity monitoring sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico Imputed daily salinity and associated covariates to support statistical modeling for 91 salinity monitoring sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Imputed salinities from either salinity or specific conductance observations and covariate data in data structures deemed suitable for statistical modeling of salinity in near-coastal environments of the northern Gulf of Mexico are provided for 15 salinity groups. The data herein were created by the 'covardr2formodel.R' script of 'covESTUSAL software' (Asquith and others, 2023), which...
Three-Dimensional Delineation of the Pierre Shale Bedrock from Electrical Resistivity Surveys Conducted in Two Areas of Interest Within and Near Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, 2022 Three-Dimensional Delineation of the Pierre Shale Bedrock from Electrical Resistivity Surveys Conducted in Two Areas of Interest Within and Near Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, 2022
In 2022, the USGS, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Center (USAF/CEC), performed geophysical surveys at two areas of interest within and near Ellsworth Air Force Base (EAFB) to delineate the Cretaceous Pierre Shale bedrock. Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) data were collected in two grid patterns using the dipole-dipole array within and near EAFB and site...
Identifying conditions where reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) functions as a driver of forest loss in the Upper Mississippi River floodplain under different hydrological scenarios Identifying conditions where reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) functions as a driver of forest loss in the Upper Mississippi River floodplain under different hydrological scenarios
Most of the world’s river-floodplain ecosystems are simultaneously undergoing modifications to their hydrological regimes and experiencing species invasions, making it unclear whether invasive species are the main drivers of ecosystem change or simply responding to changes in the hydrological regime. We simulated patterns of forest recruitment and succession in a 2200 ha portion of the...
