LAS dataset of lidar, single-beam, and multibeam sonar data collected of Minnesota Point near the Superior Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, MN, September 2021

This dataset is a LAS dataset containing light detection and ranging (lidar) data and sonar data representing the beach and near-shore topography of Minnesota Point near the Superior Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, Minnesota. The LAS data sets were used to create a digital elevation model (DEM) of the approximately 2.27 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar data were collected using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Single-beam sonar data were collected using a Ceescope sonar unit. All elevation data were collected September 15-17, 2021. Methodology similar to Wagner, D.M., Lund, J.W., and Sanks, K.M., 2020 was used.
