Separate data for floodplain elevation and bathymetry were collected on the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) Program. While many information needs can be met by using these data separately, in many cases seamless elevation data across the river and its floodplain are needed. This seamless elevation surface was generated by merging lidar (i.e., floodplain elevation) and bathymetry data. Merging the data required special processing in the areas of transition between the two sources of data.

This dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) of the bathymetry for six sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. The DEMs have a 10-cm resolution (Boom site is 0.5-m) to provide ultra-high-resolution elevations for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. Bathymetry is essential for providing the depths and shapes of underwater terrain and it represents the three-dimensional features (or relief) of underwater terrain. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated...

Hydroacoustic (sonar) data were collected for the Mississippi, St. Croix, and Minnesota Rivers for the development of high-resolution bathymetry and sidescan imagery. Small areas containing priority mussel habitat had additional collection efforts to map water velocities and bottom composition. Combining these data in a GIS can provide key components to characterizing physical benthic habitat for native mussels in a riverine environment. This information is highly desired by the National Park Service to more accurately assess environmental factors that influence native mussel distribution. The collaborative effort was funded by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) Environment and Natural...

This dataset is a digital surface of depth-averaged flow velocities for six sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) are used to measure how fast water is moving across an entire water column. The ADCP measures water currents with sound, and the resulting flow information will be used for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. River current velocities were collected using a SonTek RiverSurveyor© M9 for all six sites. All hydroacoustic...
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. The entire study plan will consist of data collection and analysis of the Brandon, Dresden, Starved Rock, Marseilles, Peoria, La Grange and Alton reaches of the Illinois River. Reaches with larger aquatic areas (Peoria, La Grange and Alton), will have priority areas and backwaters collected and analyzed first.

A side scan image collected with Humminbird Helix 10 on November 14, 2019. Side scan sonar creates a picture or an image of the riverbed. To generate an image, side scanners measures the strength of how loud the return sonar pings are.

A slope raster generated from multibeam bathymetry and terrestrial lidar collected simultaneously on November 14, 2019. Slope represents the rate of change of elevation under the water column.
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.

These data are digital hillshades of the bathymetry for five (of six) sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. Hillshades are shaded relief surfaces created by the illumination source angle and shadows, and are being used to investigate the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. Hillshades are essential for visualizing details of underwater terrain and it represents a shaded relief surface of the topography. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system...

This dataset is a digital surface model of the slope for six sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. Slope is the gradient, or rate of maximum change in elevation, and is derived from the DEM. Slope measures will be used for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. Slope is a driver of energy below the water and influences biotic diversity, distribution, and the functional traits of those biota. Slope is expressed in degrees; it calculates the maximum rate of change in value from...

Remote sensing technologies, such as high-resolution sonar, can be used to collect more detailed information about the benthic characteristics of macro habitats in the Illinois River. Multibeam echosounders collect multibeam and sidescan simultaneously, providing high-resolution images of the riverbed. Sidescan images, in raster format, show the recorded intensity of acoustic signal returns from the riverbed. The acoustic data were collected from the East Pit of the Hanson Pits (where accessible) of the Marseilles reach June 27, 2018, and August 25, 2020.

A digital elevation model hillshade generated from multibeam bathymetry and terrestrial lidar collected simultaneously on November 14, 2019. A hillshade is a grayscale 3D representation of a surface.

A backscatter raster generated from multibeam bathymetry and terrestrial lidar collected simultaneously on November 14, 2019. Backscatter is the reflection of a signal and can help when determining bottom types. Harder bottom types (like rock) reflect more sound than softer bottom types (like mud), and smoother bottom types reflect more sound than rugged bottom types.

Using high-resolution sonar technologies with geographic information systems (GIS) and object-based image analysis, benthic characteristics of the Illinois River have been interpreted to support Asian carp research, monitoring, and control. The study plan consisted of data collection and analysis of the Brandon, Dresden, Starved Rock, Marseilles, Peoria, La Grange, and Alton reaches of the Illinois River. Reaches with larger aquatic areas (Peoria, La Grange and Alton), had areas prioritized for data collection and analysis.

Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore (PIRO), located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, is home to many wildlife species that depend on forest canopy connectivity to thrive. Park biologists are interested to learn how forest loss in the late 2000s and early 2010s caused by beech bark disease (BBD) is affecting these wildlife species. Biologists need to know where forest canopy gaps exist and identify where the greatest canopy connectivity loss has occurred prior to research observing and collecting data on wildlife species. This data set will show biologists where canopy gaps existed shortly after BBD infection occurred at PIRO, as derived using object-based image analysis and National Agriculture Imagery Program...

This dataset is a digital image mosaic of sidescan for six sites where known rock structures exist in the St. Croix River. Sidescan sonar emits conical or fan-shaped beam down across a wide angle perpendicular to the path of the sensor through the water. The intensity of the acoustic reflections from the riverbed is recorded in a series of cross-track slices and when stitched together in a mosaic, form an image of the riverbed giving the user a view of the material and texture of the riverbed. Sidescan mosaics are being used in this project mainly as ancillary information to help view the rock structures and will also be used for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled...
