Field Activity 2022-609-FA

Identifier 2022-609-FA
Also known as Santa Cruz Harbor survey post tsunami
Purpose Map Santa Cruz harbor and offshore to identify any bathymetric change following the tsunami generated by the 2022 Tonga volcano eruption
Location Santa Cruz, California
Summary Swath mapping of Santa Cruz Harbor to document tsunami erosion/deposition (if any) from the tsunami generated by the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption. This bathymetry may be used in the future for modeling of tsunami in the harbor.
Info derived bathymetry and backscatter

Acoustic-backscatter data for Santa Cruz Harbor, California SWATH plus-M 1-m resolution acoustic-backscatter data were collected during a January 2022 SWATHPlus survey in and near the Santa Cruz harbor, California. Data were collected and processed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) with fieldwork activity number 2022-609-FA. The 1-m acoustic-backscatter data are provided as a GeoTIFF file. Peter Dartnell
