Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 06:08 AM | Dataset Last Updated: April 12, 2024 at 12:00 AM
These data were compiled for/to modeling to assess impact of management scenarios on Colorado River sediment resources. Objective(s) of our study were to assess impact of management scenarios on Colorado River sediment resources. These data represent model results for high flow experiment timing/duration, sand mass balance, sandbar volume, based on the data in the Interim Guidelines SEIS and LTEMP SEIS folders. These data were generated in 2023-2024 and are model simulations of Colorado River sediment resources downstream of Glen Canyon dam. These data were created by the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring & Research Center with models generated and codes written/adapted by Gerard Salter. These data can be used to assess impact of management scenarios on Colorado River sediment resources.
