These topographic/bathymetric digital elevation models (DEMs) were collected and compiled to characterize erosion and deposition in the Colorado River and in an adjacent zone of laterally recirculating flow (eddy) during both average flow conditions and during a controlled flood that occurred in March 2008. The objectives of the study were to measure changes sandbar morphology that occurred during changes in discharge associated with the controlled flood. These data were collected between February 6 and March 31, 2008 in a 1-mile study reach on the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park beginning 44.5 miles downstream from Lees Ferry, Arizona. These data were collected by the USGS Grand Canyon Monitoring...

These data were compiled to provide a resource for other researchers interested in water-surface elevations and flow velocity across a wide range of discharge in the study reach for the project. Objective(s) of our study were to construct a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the 15.8 mile tailwater reach of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon between Glen Canyon Dam and Lees Ferry, Arizona. These data represent the results of the two-dimensional modeling effort with each data table (50) including the results of each run of the model. Additionally, other data represent a comparison of modeled water surface elevations to measured water surface elevations for historic Bureau of Reclamation cross sections in the study...

Water depth and depth-averaged water velocity in the lower San Joaquin River, California, collected generally near Greyson Bridge, the Old Fishermen's Club, and Sturgeon Bend. These data were collected using a SonTek M9 Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) May 10-11, 2012, and May 24-25, 2012.

This data release supersedes version 1.0, published in November 2021 at https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CAZIHJ. Versioning details are documented in the accompanying Klamath_Grainsize_VersionHistory.txt file. This data release includes grain-size measurements of sediment samples collected from the substrate surface and uppermost 10 cm of sediment deposits in the Klamath estuary, northern California. Samples were collected using a BMH-60 bed-material sampler deployed from a boat, or by hand trowel from subaerial or shallow-water (less than 0.5 m water depth) regions along the estuary margins and side channels. Sediment grain size was analyzed at the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) laboratory in Santa Cruz, Calif. Particles...

These profiles of suspended-sediment concentration were collected and compiled to characterize suspended sediment in the Colorado River during both average flow conditions and during a controlled flood that occurred in March 2008. The objectives of the study were to measure changes in suspended sediment that occurred during changes in discharge associated with the controlled flood. These data were collected between March 4 and March 10, 2008 in the center of the channel 44.64 river miles downstream from Lees Ferry, Arizona on the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park. The sampling location was within a 1-mile study reach beginning 0.14 miles upstream from the sampling location. These data were collected...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
