Detailed Description
Gray shaded-relief image (or map) is used to provide a 3D representation of the floor of San Francisco Bay, or bathymetry (water depth). The land surrounding San Francisco Bay is colored to also provide a 3D representation of relief, or topography (land elevation). Locations of USGS sediment samples collected in winter 2008 within the San Francisco Bay study area are shown as dots on the shaded-relief map, and these samples are used to verify, or groundtruth, the bathymetric map.

San Francisco Bay geomorphology
The primary objective of this task is to develop tools for predicting the long-term geomorphic evolution of estuaries. Sediment core and historical change analysis will be used in combination with interpretation of high-resolution seismic profiles to develop tools for predicting geomorphic evolution of estuaries. Historical change analysis will use hydrographic and lidar data. Longer-term data...
