Activity completed, data published at
Dow, H.W., 2024, Sediment grain size at river outlets along the California coast: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P99V17HO.
Fluvial sediment samples were collected from the lowermost reaches of 21 coastal watersheds in California, in order to characterize surficial grain size of river sediment from deposits that appeared to be recent based on field context. Samples were collected using a trowel to sample the uppermost 10 cm of sediment.
