Summary

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is evaluating the placement of dredged material in the nearshore areas of Lake Michigan as a means to replenish sand at selected beaches. In order to elucidate the physical processes in the nearshore environment that transport and distribute sand to the beach, the USACE-Chicago District and the US Geological Survey (USGS) developed a plan for a beach nourishment study on Lake Michigan near Burns Harbor/Ogden Dunes, Indiana. In support of this effort, five bathymetric surveys with a boat-mounted Teledyne RDI 1200 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) were completed in the study area. ADCP data were collected using WinRiverII and exported for post-processing in The Velocity Mapping Toolbox [...]
