Summary
This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from the Elwha River delta collected in July 2018 (USGS Field Activity Number 2018-648-FA) using a kayak. The kayak was equipped with a single-beam echosounder and a survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver.
Summary
This part of the data release presents bathymetry data from the Elwha River delta collected in July 2018 (USGS Field Activity Number 2018-648-FA) using a kayak. The kayak was equipped with a single-beam echosounder and a survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver.
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.
