This grant from the Department of Energy is aimed at funding the University of Mississippi’s National Center for Physical Acoustics to develop a passive acoustic system for monitoring coarse bed load movement. The project includes calibration, data processing, and potentially fabricating a dedicated instrument. The research will focus on investigating how sediment characteristics and channel morphology influence the acoustic signal generated by gravel transport along the bed. Application deadline: December 5, 2011.

| Description:: |
The work proposed here encompasses the development of a passive (listening) acoustic system for monitoring coarse bed load movement, including calibration, data processing, and, if warranted, the fabrication of a dedicated instrument. The magnitude and frequency of the acoustic signal generated by gravel transport along the bed may be influenced by the size and mineralogy of the sediment and the local channel morphology; therefore, these characteristics will be investigated as part of the work. |
