Title: Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of Doboy Sound at the mouth of the Duplin River near Sapelo Island, Georgia
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to map the bathymetry of Doboy Sound near the mouth of the Duplin River adjacent to Sapelo Island, Georgia. This study extends a previous bathymetry mapping project conducted in 2009. The primary objective of the Duplin River project in 2009 was to provide data in support of understanding the sediment and water exchange process between intertidal areas and tidal creeks of the Duplin River. The Center for Marine and Wetland Studies (CMWS) surveyed the Doboy Sound using the Simrad EM3002D Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) in April 2011. A digital elevation model (DEM) was then developed based on the depth survey data.
