Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment: Degree Flowlines and Culverts
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) created geospatial datasets of potential culvert locations along with flowlines connected to southwestern Lake Erie as part of the Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment (WLERA). The Degree Flowlines and Culverts datasets represent the flowline network and culverts in the WLERA study area. Both datasets will be served in the Great Lakes Wetlands Restoration Area
Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment: Dikes
This dataset represents the location of dikes within the Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment (CRSRA) study area. For more information, see the full data release documentation and the GLCWRA webpage: https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/.
Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment: Composite Model
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Western Lake Erie Restoration Assessment (WLERA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable wetlands.
Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment: Degree Flowlines
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) created the Degree Flowlines and Culverts geospatial datasets representing potential culvert locations along with flowlines within the Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment (CRSRA) study area. Both datasets will be served in the Great Lakes Wetlands Restoration Area mapping application [https://glcwra.wim.usgs.gov/]. The map-based user interface can be u
Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment, Composite Model
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Connecting River Systems Restoration Assessment (CRSRA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable we
Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment: Degree Flowlines
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) created geospatial datasets of potential culvert locations along with flowlines connected toLake Huron as part of the Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment (SBRA). The Degree Flowlines and Culverts datasets represent the flowline network and culverts in the SBRA study area. Both datasets will be served in the Great Lakes Wetlands Restoration Area mapping application
Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment, Composite Model
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment (SBRA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable wetlands. The 7
Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment: Dikes
This dataset represenst the location of dikes within the Saginaw Bay Restoration Assessment (SBRA) study area. An ArcGIS model identified dikes as having a difference in elevation and slope above a certain threshold. If the elevation difference was below a certain threshold, the area was not considered a dike. However, if the difference in elevation between two points was significantly high, then
Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) Upper Peninsula, U.S.: Degree Flowlines
This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. These data represent the flowline network in the Upper Peninsula Restoration Assessment (UPRA). It is attributed with the number of disconnections (e.g., road crossings) between the reach and Lake Ontario. The more road crossings on a flowline the more disconnected that
Upper Peninsula Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment: Dikes
This dataset is part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative. These data represent the location of dikes within the Upper Peninsula Restoration Assessment (UPRA) study area. An ArcGIS model (Python script) identified dikes as having a difference in elevation above a certain threshold. If the elevation difference was below a certai
Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) Upper Peninsula, U.S.
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Upper Peninsula Restoration Assessment (UPRA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable wetlands. Th
Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) Green Bay, U.S.: Composite Model Layers
This dataset contains all the layers associated with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Restoration Assessment (GLCWRA) initiative for the Green Bay Restoration Assessment (GBRA) which aims to identify and rank coastal areas with the greatest potential for wetland habitat restoration. Each layer has a unique contribution to the identification of restorable wetlands. The 7 pa
