Cottonwood Lake Study Area - Aerial Imagery

Collection of orthorectified images from aerial photograph of wetlands at the U.S. Geological Survey's Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota. This collection of images was acquired during July and early August from 1975 to 2015. Aerial photographs of wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area were collected in order to facilitate a better understanding of the influence of natural climate variability on the vegetation of prairie wetland ecosystems.

Pothole Hydrology Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS)

To more fully understand the complex, often interacting, influences of climate and land-use on prairie-pothole wetland systems, and to facilitate climate and land-use change adaptation efforts, a mechanistic understanding of the relationship between climate, land-use, hydrology, chemistry, and biota in prairie-pothole wetlands, is needed. We developed the Pothole Hydrology-Linked Systems Simulator (PHyLiSS) to help meet this need. PHyLiSS is a generalized coupled hydrologic and hydrogeochemical model of prairie-pothole wetland ecosystems. The current version of PHyLiSS has the capability to simulate wetland hydrology and salinity. Future iterations will be able to simulate the impacts of changing hydrology and salinity...
