R-1-96-GC map of where navigation equipment operated

Crew
Dave Rubin Chief Scientist, USGS Western Region
Equipment Used
sidescansonar
currentmeter
opticalbackscattersensor
samples
Purpose
Rafting trip down the Colorado River to study flow and transport
during experimental flood release from Glen Canyon Dam
using rotating sidescan sonar, tracking
dune migration as indication of bedload transport rate; current speed
fluctuations; using OBS to study sediment load fluctuations
Summary
Sidescan sonar records, current speed, sediment load in water column, sediment samples
