Dataset description: Surface-sediment grain-size distributions

This portion of the data release presents sediment grain-size data from samples collected on the Elwha River delta, Washington, in July 2018 (USGS Field Activity 2018-648-FA). Surface sediment was collected from 39 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 35 samples were collected by hand at low tide.
