to GIS - Using EPPL7 on a microcomputer This tutorial was prepared for field personnel in the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) and other river managers who use Environmental Planning and Programming Language version 7 (EPPL7). The data sets included in the tutorial are from the LTRMP geographic information system (GIS) data base, and the exercises cover frequently used GIS procedures.

Geographic information system modeling procedures for the Upper Mississippi River System migratory bird pilot project The Management Strategy for Migratory Birds on the Mississippi River corridor from Wabasha, Minnesota, to St. Louis, Missouri (Strategy), is a cooperative effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, the Illinois Natural History Survey, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Missouri Department of Conservation, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and is designed to create an "integrated, ecological, and proactive approach to management of habitats used by migratory bird populations" within the Upper Mississippi River System. The Migratory... Categories: Publication; Types: Map Service, OGC WFS Layer, OGC WMS Layer, OGC WMS Service
1989 Systemic land cover/land use data in EPPL7 format This document was designed for individuals experienced in using the geographic information system Environmental Planning and Programming Language version 7 (EPPL7) and/or Fish and Wildlife Application (FWA) interface. The report provides experienced users with background information to install and subset the data. No attempt has been made to instruct individuals unfamiliar with these programs in their use or capabilities.

User's manual, Fish and Wildlife Application EPPL7 interface program FWA is a menu-driven interface program developed for use with the GIS program EPPL7. FWA is used to view data, add overlays, subset data, and produce standardized output Categories: Publication; Types: Map Service, OGC WFS Layer, OGC WMS Layer, OGC WMS Service
Development of a systemic land cover/land use database for the Upper Mississippi River System derived from Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite data Procedures were developed for using 1989 Landsat Thematic Mapper data to map land cover/land use for the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS). The procedures include image mosaicking, projection, atmospheric correction, floodplain extraction, classification, editing, quality assurance, and distribution. The mapping classes include water, aquatic vegetation, grasses/forbs, woody terrestrial, agriculture, urban/developed, and sand. Acreage summaries are provided for the 35 navigation pools as well as the open river reaches. Classification error was assessed and confidence limits were generated for each of the seven Landsat scenes required to map the UMRS. The database provides resource managers throughout the UMRS...

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.
