Summary

Bathymetric, topographic, and grain-size data were collected from May 2013 to October 2016 along a 15-mi reach of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Arizona by the U.S. Geological Survey Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center. The study reach is located from river miles -15 at the base of Glen Canyon Dam to 0 at Lees Ferry. Channel bathymetry was mapped using multibeam bathymetry collected in November 2014 and single beam bathymetry collected in February 2015, August 2015, February 2016, and June 2016. Subaerial topography was mapped using photogrammetry derived from aerial Imagery collected in May 2013 and ground-based total-stations collected in February 2015, October 2015, and October 2016.

Purpose

The purpose of these data are to provide a complete set of data that are a component of an effort to monitor the status and trends of sand storage along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park. These data were collected and created to provide multiple spatial data products into a single 1-meter scale DEM with spatially distributed uncertainty, and classification of bed substrate of the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam. By presenting these data in digital form the DEM and bed substrate classifications can be used by researchers to map the spatial characteristics of geomorphic change. Also, these data can provide valuable information for the development of hydraulic and morphodynamic models, characterize the spatial distribution of benthic habitat for aquatic and riparian ecosystem investigations, and provide the recreation community a complete topographic map of the Colorado River corridor in Glen Canyon. Data were collected on several trips to Glen Canyon conducted between May 2013 to February 2016.
