Journal ArticleDOI
Flood trends and river engineering on the Mississippi River system
TL;DR: In this article, a geospatial database of historical engineering construction was used to quantify the response of flood levels to each unit of engineering infrastructure, and the largest and most pervasive contributors to increased flooding on the Mississippi River system were wing dikes and related navigational structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in flood stages: Contrasting results from the Mississippi and Rhine River systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors attempted to isolate the impacts of overlapping mechanisms on flooding by analyzing 73-188 years of stage measurements from the Mississippi River system and the German Rhine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cumulative impacts of river engineering, Mississippi and Lower Missouri rivers
TL;DR: In this paper, a large, data-rich model was constructed to test hydrological responses to engineering modifications on over 3200 km of the Mississippi and Lower Missouri Rivers over the past 100-150 years, with responses analyzed across a range of discharges from within-channel flows up to moderate floods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influential Environmental Gradients and Spatiotemporal Patterns of Fish Assemblages in the Unimpounded Upper Mississippi River
TL;DR: The four main environmental gradients influencing overall assemblage structure for both age groups were river elevation, water velocity, conductivity and depth of gear deployment, and partial canonical correspondence analyses (pCCA) demonstrated significant effects of physical habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Challenges in merging fisheries research and management: the Upper Mississippi River experience
TL;DR: The Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS) is a geographically diverse basin extending 10° north temperate latitude that has produced fishes for humans for millennia as mentioned in this paper, and a renewed focus on fisheries in the UMRS may be dawning.
