The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program, through its Long Term Resource Monitoring (LTRM) element, collected aerial imagery of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) during the summer of 2020. The main purpose of the aerial imagery was to develop Land Cover/Land Use (LCU) spatial datasets of navigable pools (the stretch of river between locks and dams) and reaches of the UMRS. These pools and reaches include Pools 1 through 26, the Open River Reach, the entire Illinois River, and the navigable portions of the Minnesota, St. Croix, and Kaskaskia Rivers. Digital aerial imagery was collected of the systemic Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) from 2020-08-11...
The Corps of Engineers' Rock Island District is planning an unprecedented closure of the Illinois Waterway in 2020 in order to perform required maintenance on locks. Aerial imagery will document river conditions prior to the closure (2019) and after the locks are reopened (2021). Under a separate but related effort, aerial imagery of the entire Illinois Waterway will be collected in 2020 as part of the decadal Upper Mississippi River System Land Cover/Land Use mapping project. The imagery has a resolution of approximately 0.4 meter/pixel (16 inches). The imagery was collected on September 17, 2019 with a Phase One iXU-R 180 RGB camera co-mounted with a Phase One iXU-RS 160 Achromatic camera to create 4-band imagery...
These georeferenced thermal infrared images of Mississippi River navigation Pool 8 were collected at 0.5 meters/pixel on November 20, 2017, using a mid-wave infrared camera (SC8343, FLIR Systems, Inc., Nashua, NH). This camera was mounted in a Partenavia P68 Observer aircraft and flown at 915m above ground level using a 25mm lens. GPS and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors tracked horizontal and vertical position and the IMU tracked sensor orientation (roll, pitch, and heading). These values, along with a 10 meter/pixel resolution digital elevation model, allowed us to orthorectify each frame of thermal imagery to the earth. These orthoimages were then mosaicked into a single mosaic images for the entire pool.
Located in floodplain of the Illinois River near Havana, IL, Emiquon is one of the largest floodplain restoration projects in the Midwest. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) manage a TNC preserve and FWS Naitonal Wildlife Refuge in this area. In 2012, the Emiquon National Wildlife Refuge was designated a “Ramsar Wetland of International Importance.”
