Beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry of Lake Superior, Duluth, MN, August 2022

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

These data are digital elevation models (DEMs) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point near the Duluth Entry, Duluth, Minnesota. A LAS dataset was used to create DEMs of 10 meter (m; 32.8084 feet) and 1 m (3.28084 feet) resolution, covering the approximately 1.75 square kilometer surveyed area. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: lidar, 0.094 meters (m); multibeam sonar, 0.501 m; single-beam sonar, 1.876 m. Lidar data were collected August 22, 2022 using a boat mounted Velodyne VLP-16 unit and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multibeam sonar data were collected August 22-23, 2022 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected August 23, 2022 using a Ceescope echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006). This project followed similar methods to that of Wagner, Lund, and Sanks (2020), who completed a similar survey in 2019.
