This Federal Grant, awarded to the University of Mississippi’s National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA), focuses on developing a passive acoustic system for monitoring coarse bed load movement. This grant is for the purpose of creating a listening device to detect and analyze gravel transport along riverbeds. Key activities encompass system calibration, data processing, and potentially fabricating a dedicated instrument. The project will also investigate how sediment size, mineralogy, and local channel morphology influence the magnitude and frequency of acoustic signals generated by gravel movement, enhancing understanding of fluvial dynamics.

| 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. |
