Summary
This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetric data collected during surveys performed on the Elwha River delta, Washington in 2018 (USGS Field Activity Number 2018-648-FA). Bathymetric data were collected using personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.
Summary
This portion of the USGS data release presents bathymetric data collected during surveys performed on the Elwha River delta, Washington in 2018 (USGS Field Activity Number 2018-648-FA). Bathymetric data were collected using personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.
Data were obtained to assess the coastal geomorphic response following the removal of two dams on the Elwha River. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify topographic and shallow-water bathymetric features.
