High resolution, topographic data collection of sand bars, biological sites,
|
|
and archaeological sites prior to 2004 Glen Canyon Dam High Flow Test Study

|
Summary
|
|
Three sites were visited, Mile 30 Sand
|
|
Bar, Vaseys Paradise (Mile 32) and the Palisades Archaeological Site (Mile 66).
|
|
Seven scans were collected at Mile 30 (approx. 16 million data points), two
|
|
scans were collected at Vaseys Paradise (approx. 3 million data points), and
|
|
one scan was collected at the Palisades site (approx. 0.5 million data points).
|
|
Data collection was limited at the Palisades site by inclement weather.
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
Survey data was collected via total station by GCMRC staff.
