abstract: "<p>Bathymetric and topographic survey data collected during the TURTLE experiments on Galveston Island, TX, USA in the fall of 2023. The data includes handheld RTK-GPS cross-shore profiles, collected between October and December 2023, and bathymetric echo-sounder survey data, collected on 29 January 2024. This dataset is part of the collection&nbsp;<em>TURTLE: Measurements of groundwater, hydrodynamics, sand temperature, and sediment characteristics at two beach transects on Galveston Island, Texas, USA.</em></p><p><br></p><p>A full, detailed description of the experiments, instrumentation, and collected data is published in:</p><p>Christiaanse, J.
