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
