Summary

Bathymetric, topographic, and grain-size data were collected in April 2011 along a 27-mi (43.5 – km) reach of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The study reach begins at river mile 61.1, about 0.6 -mi (1 –km) above the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers and ends at river mile 88.1 at the upstream boundary of the Bright Angel Rapid (Phantom Ranch boat beach). Channel bathymetry was mapped using multibeam and singlebeam echosounders, subaerial topography was mapped using ground-based total-stations, and bed-sediment grain-size data were collected using an underwater digital microscope system. These data were combined to produce digital elevation models, spatially variable estimates of digital [...]

Purpose

The long-term goal of the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management program for sediment recourses is to increase and retain the volume, area, and distribution of fine sediment (primarily sand) for ecological, cultural, and recreational purposes. This dataset is a component of an effort to monitor the status and trends of sand storage along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. Several reports (Kaplinski and others, 2009; 2017; 2022) have been published that document the survey methods and post-processing procedures, digital elevation model production and uncertainty assessment, and procedures for bed-sediment classification.
