1-meter Digital elevation model (DEM) of beach topography of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, MN, September 2020

This dataset is a digital elevation model (DEM) of the beach topography of Lake Superior at the Duluth Entry, Duluth, Minnesota. The DEM has a 1-meter (m; 3.28084 feet) cell size and was created from a LAS dataset of terrestrial light detection and ranging (lidar) data representing the beach topography. Lidar data were collected September 23, 2020 using a boat mounted Velodyne unit. Multibeam sonar data were collected September 22-23, 2020 using a Norbit integrated wide band multibeam system compact (iWBMSc) sonar unit. Methodology similar to Wagner, D.M., Lund, J.W., and Sanks, K.M., 2020 was used.
