This dataset is the survey area footprint for the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, Minnesota. The survey footprint represents a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) of beach topography and multibeam sonar bathymetry to approximately 1 kilometer (0.62 miles) offshore, for an approximately 2.27 square kilometer surveyed area. The surveys were completed July 20 - July 23, 2020.

This dataset represents the survey footprint of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The survey area extends approximately 0.85 kilometers (0.5 miles) offshore, for an approximately 1.87 square kilometer surveyed area. Lidar and multibeam data were collected July 28-29, 2020.

This dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 10-meter (m; 32.8084 feet) cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data representing the beach topography and sonar data representing the bathymetry to approximately 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) offshore. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: LiDAR, 0.137 m; multi-beam sonar, 1.029 m; single-beam sonar, 0.999 m. LiDAR data were collected August 10, 2019 using a boat-mounted Optech ILRIS scanner and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multi-beam sonar data were collected August 7-11, 2019 using an R2Sonic 2024 sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected August 27-28, 2019 using a CEESCOPE echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006).

These data are digital elevation models (DEMs) of the beach topography and near-shore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, near the Superior entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEMs have 1 meter (m) and/or 10 m cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data representing the beach topography and sonar data representing the bathymetry for an approximate 2.15 square kilometer survey area. Average point spacing of the LAS files in the dataset are as follows: Lidar, 0.086 m; multi-beam sonar, 0.512 m; single-beam sonar, 1.919 m. Lidar data were collected September 07, 2022 using a boat mounted Velodyne VLP-16 unit and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019). Multibeam sonar data were collected September 06-07, 2022 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit and methodology similar to that described by Richards and Huizinga (2018). Single-beam sonar data were collected September 07, 2022 using a Ceescope echosounder and methodology similar to that described by Wilson and Richards (2006). This project followed similar methods to that of Wagner, Lund, and Sanks (2020), who completed a similar survey in 2019.

The elevation contours in this dataset have a 2-foot (ft) interval and were derived from a digital elevation model (DEM) of beach topography and nearshore bathymetry of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, Minnesota.
