AKA: none

Other ID: R-1-97-GC,R1-97-GC

Status: Completed

Organization(s):

Funding Program(s): Grand Canyon Sedimentologic Engineering (MU125)

Principal Investigator(s): Dave Rubin

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Roberto Anima, Dave Rubin

Data Type(s): Sampling: Geology, Sonar: Sidescan, Sonar: Single Beam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: from the towed sidescan sonar, how sand is redistributed in channel from last survey; from the rotating sidescan sonar, tracking dune migration as indication of bed load transport rate; studying sed. structures of the predam flood deposits and to compare grainsize evolution with grainsize evolution from the 1996 flood; to monitor sediment along the river corridor; to compare past side scanning sonar surveys with the present by looking at changes along the river corridor

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location:

End Port/Location:

Start Date: 1997-05-21

End Date: 1997-06-06

Equipment Used: sidescansonar, grab, bathymetry

Information to be Derived: distribution of sediment along 17 pools of the corridor; bedform migration information along selected pools; information about primary sedimentary structures deposited during experimental flow event

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: sampling and sidesan sonar
