The bathymetry was acquired in 2013 in the Grand Canal (Venice) as part of the RITMARE (La Ricerca ITaliana per il MARE) research project. The data were collected using a Kongsberg EM-2040 dual-head multibeam system operating at 360 kHz, mounted on the CNR Litus vessel, and subsequently processed with Kongsberg SIS software. The information acquired was integrated with sound velocity profiles and georeferenced using the Seapath 300 positioning system. This survey will serve as a basis for comparison with data collected ten years later, in 2023, in order to assess any morphological and sedimentological changes in the bottom of the Grand Canal.
