Mississippi River, Pool 9 Digital Elevation Model, First Return
In 2007, the U.S Army Corps of Engineers’ Upper Mississippi River Restoration (UMRR) program partnered with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) to collect FEMA-grade, bluff-to-bluff lidar for Navigation Pools 8-24 of the UMRS. In 2009, with American Recovery and Reinvestment (ARRA) funds awarded to UMRR, the remaining lidar for the Upper Mississippi River, to the confluence with the Ohio River, and the Illinois River was contracted. Data acquisition was completed in 2011. Lidar data are remotely sensed, high-resolution elevation data collected by airplane. The Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center is processing these data to create Digital Elevation Models (DEMs), 0.5 meter contour lines, and pool-wide hillshade images.
