Ag Data Commons migration begins October 18, 2023

The Ag Data Commons is migrating to a new platform – an institutional portal on Figshare. Starting October 18 the current system will be available for search and download only. Submissions will resume after the launch of our portal on Figshare in November. Stay tuned for details!

Greater Blue Earth River Basin Sediment Budget Shapefiles

image of Greater Blue Earth River Basin Sediment Budget shapefiles

These are the extents of landforms used in the construction of suspended sediment budgets for the LeSueur, Blue Earth and Watonwan Rivers. The extents of bluffs, ravines, lakes, and subwatersheds in 2010 are included, as well as riverbanks from 2008 and 1938.

Sponsorship: Minnesota Department of Agriculture

The shapefiles were derived from digital elevation models (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/lidar/index.html), historic aerial photographs (https://www.lib.umn.edu/apps/mhapo/), and recent aerial photographs (https://www.fsa.usda.gov/programs-and-services/aerial-photography/imager...).
