Summary
In preparation for bottom sediment coring at Mother Goose Lake, bathymetric data was collected using a Lowrance Sonar "fishfinder" (model LcX-17M) in August 2006 and August 2007. A 5-meter bathymetric contour map of the lake bottom was constructed using the GPS-sonar data in conjunction with field observations. The contour data and GPS location and depth data are provided in ESRI shapefile format for use in Geographic Information System (GIS) software.

The purpose of this bathymetric data release is to provide scientific collaborators who are working on the Chiginagak volcano acid flood event, such as geologists and fisheries biologists, with depth information of Mother Goose Lake.
