About the Chapter Meeting on April 3rd.
Abstract: For most visitors to Grand Canyon, getting to the bottom means getting to the river and maybe taking a quick swim in the dam-cooled water. Using high-resolution echosounders and precision navigation equipment, USGS scientists have imaged the bottom of the Colorado River for most of Grand Canyon. In this talk, we’ll describe characteristics of the riverbed, hydraulic and geomorphic features, and answer the question everyone wants to know, “how deep is the river”?
