This page houses data releases related to multiple studies assessing river corridor habitat dynamics on the Missouri River. The general objective of these studies is to develop a predictive understanding of rates and processes of river corridor habitat dynamics resulting from hydrologic and geomorphic sources, and to apply this fundamental understanding to restoration and adaptive management of rivers and their floodplains. Specific objectives are:1) Develop multi-scale understanding of the origins and transmission of physical disturbances through drainage basins, and how the disturbances affect river-corridor physical habitats.2) Develop measurement and modeling tools and instrumentation to apply to hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic [...]
Summary
This page houses data releases related to multiple studies assessing river corridor habitat dynamics on the Missouri River. The general objective of these studies is to develop a predictive understanding of rates and processes of river corridor habitat dynamics resulting from hydrologic and geomorphic sources, and to apply this fundamental understanding to restoration and adaptive management of rivers and their floodplains. Specific objectives are:1) Develop multi-scale understanding of the origins and transmission of physical disturbances through drainage basins, and how the disturbances affect river-corridor physical habitats.2) Develop measurement and modeling tools and instrumentation to apply to hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic assessment of habitat dynamics in river corridors ranging in size from wadeable streams to Great Rivers.3) Improve understanding of short- and long-term habitat dynamics through field-scale, adaptive-management experiments.4) Link understanding of physical habitat dynamics to biotic responses.5) Apply understanding to adaptive management of river systems under varying environmental conditions.
