Bathymetry at entrance to Golovnin Lagoon, Alaska, 2024 Cee HydroSystems Ceescope This dataset contains nearshore bathymetry measurements collected at the entrance to Golovnin Lagoon, Alaska. The data were collected in September 2024 and subsequently processed by the U.S. Geological Survey, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center. Results are provided in a comma-separated value format (csv). Daniel J Nowacki

Datasets compiled from multiple sources

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
GNSS elevation data collected in 2024 on beaches and areas relevant to flood hazard studies in Alaska communities RTK GPS Elevation point data were collected in Deering, Golovin, Koyuk, Kotzebue, and Unalakleet, Alaska between June and September 2024. Coastal elevation profiles were measured at previously established locations. Other data points are categorized as base station, bathymetry, benchmark, camera calibration data, community-based monitoring profile, drainage observation, flood staff, ground control point, miscellaneous, and water level. The elevation data were collected with real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (RTK-GNSS) equipment. Data are available in a single CSV file per community. For easting and northing coordinates, Deering, Golovin, and Kotzebue use UTM 3. Unalakleet and Koyuk use UTM 4. Li Erikson
