Alaska Lake Volume/Bathymetry I am looking for data.

Question

#3d mapping bathymetry‌ #limnology Alaska GIS Users‌

I want to calculate (or find data on) the volume facts of the larger lakes in Alaska (specifically in the National Parks.)  Is this data at the State of Alaska? or at other agencies?  Would our fancy new IfSAR collection be helpful/useless?  Coastal Mapping project?   I would appreciate a pointer to this information.

Thanks - there is a lot of information there.  The ones for which we are still missing bathymetry are Kukaklek and Nonvianuk, which I did not find there.

Hi Sarah,

AKF&G keeps an inventory of lakes that they have stocked (http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishingSportStockingHatcheries.lakesdatabase). A lot of these lakes they have bathymetry of as a download, you would need to georeference the pdf I imagine. It might have something to help you out!
