Example application of MetaIPM to the upper Mississippi River

This repository contains an example application of the `Meta-IPM` Python package (https://doi.org/10.5066/P9PW673G).
The specific application focuses on the upper Mississippi River using existing public data.
The code for this project assumes the reader is familiar with Jupyter Notebooks, enough Conda and Python to install the `Meta-IPM` package, and population ecology.
The example also assumes the user is familiar with the `Meta-IPM` package from the package's documentation.
