Supporting files for a Langrangian particle tracking model evaluation of sediment exposure and burial for freshwater mussels

This project contains field data and supporting files for a Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) model at a representative reach on the Osage River, Missouri. Field datasets include a topobathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) for a 5-km reach of the Osage River, water surface elevation profiles, and velocity data collected with acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). Channel topography was generated from data collected by USGS staff from the Columbia Environmental Research Center during single beam sonar surveys of the channel bed and high-resolution Real Time Kinematic Global Navigation Satellite Systems for positioning. Field data was used to generate and validate a Lagrangian Particle Tracking model to evaluate the risk of sediment exposure and burial to freshwater mussel communities.
