Summary

This dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 10-meter (m; 32.8084 feet) cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach topography, and multibeam sonar data representing the bathymetry. The survey area extends approximately 0.85 kilometers (0.5 miles) offshore, for an approximately 1.87 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected July 28, 2020 using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected July 28-29, 2020 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Methodology [...]

Purpose

Data were collected in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Detroit District, to define beach topography and near-shore bathymetry prior to beach nourishment in areas around the Duluth Entry to Lake Superior that have been scoured by high water levels and heavy wave activity. This survey was completed to obtain baseline data and establish pre-nourishment conditions before placing dredge spoils to mitigate beach erosion.
