  Description:
    Abstract:
      Landsat Multispectral Scanner data representing conditions in 1972,
      1984, and 1992 were processed to identify open water conditions. The
      study area included the Upper Mississippi River floodplain between
      Genoa, Wisconsin, and south of Dubuque, Iowa. Data were analyzed to
      identify changes which occurred over the 20-yr period and these
      changes have been combined to represent gains and losses. Gains
      generally equate to a loss of aquatic plant beds and islands in the
      lower pools (erosion), while losses are generally restricted to
      off-channel habitats and represent the effects of sedimentation.
      Between 1972 and 1992, gains totaled 6,959 hectares; losses totaled
      6,321 hectares.
    Purpose: Reporting results of research.
