Description
This dataset includes the input (raw survey data, computational mesh, hydrologic boundary conditions) and output data for a 2-dimensional hydraulic and sediment transport model of the lower Snow River flood plain near Seward, Alaska. Four outburst flood scenarios were simulated, including 3 historical floods and one hypothetical larger flood. The methods of deriving these datasets and using them to calculate scour are described in the associated USGS Scientific Investigations Report "Recent history of glacial outburst floods, analysis of channel changes, and development of a 2-dimensional flow and sediment transport model of the Snow River near Seward, Alaska".
