The Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center develops and collaborates with other science centers to create online data applications that provide access to project data as it becomes available to the public. Some of these applications provide data in near real-time, while other project data are updated at some regular interval (annually, quarterly).
Content listed here include applications that have project data as the main focus and driver of the online tool. In some cases, there will be ancilliary information such as a base maps or specific GIS layers, but these are provided for context only.
To find spatially-driven online applications where the "map" is the focus, please go to Online Maps.

Below are data applications associated with the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center's efforts to monitor and study the Colorado River downstream of Glen Canyon Dam. New data applications will be added as they become available.
Sandbar Monitoring Sites - Remote Camera Photographs Application
GCMRC and Northern Arizona University have engaged in long-term monitoring of 45 sandbar sites along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon for close to three decades. Remote cameras have been established to monitor sandbar changes in between site surveys that occur every Fall. This application provides access to thousands of photos, with an option to view photos around specific high flow events.
APPLICATION - Discharge, Sediment, and Water Quality Monitoring Application
This link launches the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center’s discharge, sediment and water quality monitoring application gateway. Sediment and water quality information can be accessed from here for our on-going monitoring taking place across the Southwest U.S.
APPLICATION - Grand Canyon Sandbar Monitoring
Several applications related to the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center’s long-term sandbar monitoring project can be accessed here, including the sandbar area and volume tool and applications highlighting changes to sandbars as a result of High-Flow Events (HFEs) conducted by Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona.
