The DEMs have a 10-cm resolution (Boom site is 0.5-m) to provide ultra-high-resolution elevations for investigating the use of hydroacoustic technologies for quantifying habitat for imperiled mussels Spectaclecase (Margaritifera monodonta) and Salamander (Simpsonaias ambigua) typically associated with rock structures (e.g., wing dams, revetment) in rivers. Bathymetry is essential for providing the depths and shapes of underwater terrain and it represents the three-dimensional features (or relief) of underwater terrain. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Single-beam sonar data were collected using a SonTek Riversurveyor\u00a9 M9. All hydroacoustic data were collected in early May of 2021, and the DEMs are provided in GeoTiff format.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9EUMCSF", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.63598a62d34ebe442503eb30.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_63598a62d34ebe442503eb30", "keyword": ["Minnesota", "Rock Outcrop", "Rock Substrate", "St. Croix River", "USGS-EMA-LOW-SB SMC: Freshwater mussels", "USGS:63598a62d34ebe442503eb30", "Wisconsin", "acoustic doppler current profiling", "bathymetry measurement", "benthic ecosystems", "endangered species", "image mosaics", "rivers", "sea-floor acoustic reflectivity", "sidescan sonar"], "modified": "2025-02-27T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-92.76360, 45.21650, -92.68480, 45.37120", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Bathymetry of select Rock Outcrops of the St. Croix River, May 2021"}
