| Survey Equipment | Survey Info | Data Type(s) | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| camera | --- | Photo | |
| Trimble R7 GPS (AS) | --- | Benchmarks Navigation Profiles Transects | |
| Trimble R7 GPS receiver | --- | Benchmarks LIDAR Navigation Profiles Transects | Topography data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2019 (Topography data were collected on foot with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers mounted on backpacks.) |
| Trimble R7 GPS receiver 9 | --- | Benchmarks LIDAR Navigation Profiles Transects | |
| Waverunners | --- | Navigation Single Beam | |
| Ponar grab sampler | --- | Biology Chemistry Geology | Surface-sediment grain-size distributions of the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2019 (Surface sediment was collected from 77 locations using a small ponar, or 'grab', sampler from the R/V Frontier in water depths between about 1 and 17 m around the delta. An additional 30 samples were collected by hand at low tide.) |
| soundvelocityprofiler | --- | Sound Velocity | Nearshore bathymetry data from the Elwha River delta, Washington, August 2019 (Bathymetric data were collected using personal watercraft (PWCs) equipped with single-beam sonar systems and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers.) |
