Summary

In 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Upper Colorado River Wild and Scenic Stakeholder Group, studied the magnitude and recurrence interval of streamflow needed to initiate bed movement of gravel-sized and finer sediment in a segment of the Colorado River in Colorado to better understand sediment movement and its relation to flow regimes of the river. Bed movement occurred more frequently and at lower streamflows from State Bridge to Catamount Bridge compared to the study area upstream from State Bridge. Two longitudinal hydrophone profiles were carried out at different streamflows to collect underwater acoustic data using hydrophones throughout the study area on June 6-8, 2019 and June 18-19, 2019 (June [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to present results of incipient bed-movement detection in a reach of the Colorado River from the top of Gore Canyon near Kremmling, Colo, downstream to Dotsero, Colo., at the confluence with the Eagle River using stationary hydrophones to monitor gravel-bed movement in riffles and conducting a longitudinal profile of the river to monitor incipient bed movement throughout the entire study area.
