Digital elevation models (DEMs) of the beach and nearshore in Santa Cruz, California

December 18, 2024
This data release presents digital elevation models (DEMs) derived from bathymetric and topographic measurements collected offshore of Santa Cruz, CA, from 2014 to 2024. Bathymetry data were collected using two personal watercraft (PWCs), each equipped with single-beam echosounders and survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. Topography data were collected on foot with GNSS receivers mounted on backpacks at a measured height above the ground. DEM surfaces were produced from all available elevation data using linear interpolation.
