Summary
Remote sensing technologies, such as high-resolution sonars, can be used to collect more detailed information about the benthic and water column characteristics of macrohabitats in the Illinois River. These data are high-resolution bathymetry (river bottom elevation) in raster format that represent Starved Rock reach in the summer of 2017 and 2018. The hydrographic data were collected on the main channel and side channels where accessible.

Purpose
Using high-resolution sonar technologies with geographic information systems (GIS) and object based image analysis, benthic habitats of the Illinois River will be interpreted to support Asian carp research, monitoring and control. Using a combination of multibeam sonar and side/down scan imaging, the objective is to describe microhabitat features of benthic and pelagic habitats of the Illinois River that are preferentially used by Asian carp.
