| Title | Evidence for the evacuation of fine sediment and fine gravel of the Colorado River below Glen Canyon Dam |

The first survey of the thalweg over the 225 river miles (365 km) within these three canyons was led by Luna Leopold in 1965. We digitized this survey and other surveys acquired in 1976, 1984, 1992, 1994, 1995, and 2009 in order to characterize downstream changes in pool depths (and thus changes in sand storage on the bed).
