These files were used to construct corridors estimating the extent of new coastal corridors exposed by reduced lake levels. They are included here to show the available horizontal extent of lidar-derived topo-bathymetric data and thus explicitly identify gaps and limitations of predicted corridor extents under various reduced lake level scenarios. In addition, these files provide users with a background layer that depicts the topographic variability of the submerged near-shore lake bed and terrestrial landscape.These files are 5m grid representations of the hydrographic and topographic data collected by the CHARTS system along the coasts of the U.S. sides of Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake St. Clair, Lake Erie,...

This study undertook the identification of constraints on a one foot pool raise at Mississippi River Lock and Dam 18. Pool 18 is approximately 26.5 miles long with a thalweg gradient of 0.28 foot per mile. A pool raise, as measured at the dam, would have variable spatial effect depending on main stem and tributary discharge which creates a sloping water surface at all but extreme low flow conditions. At low or no flow conditions, a one foot pool raise at the dam would flood shoreline vegetation throughout the pool. At the most probable flow the fall migration period, a one foot pool raise could flood approximately 300 acres of low elevation and shoreline vegetation in the lower 16 miles of the pool. Constraints...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
