Dear Colleagues, CUAHSI is co-sponsoring a workshop on hydroacoustic techniques for measuring and monitoring sediment transport in rivers and streams with the USGS Office of Surface Water. These techniques hold potential for providing data and information on the hydro- and morphodynamics of streams. Sediment transport processes (suspended and bed load) are intrinsically related to local stream hydrodynamics. Acoustic measurements can acquire simultaneously water and sediment data, and can be used in a wide variety of environments and applications. Pre-registration for the March 20-22 workshop is now open. Please see the announcement below, and share with interested colleagues.
Joint USGS-CUAHSI Workshop Sediment Hydroacoustics Techniques for Rivers and Streams March 20-22, 2012 National Conservation Training Center Shepherdstown, West Virginia This workshop will convene scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and managers interested in hydroacoustic technology applications for measuring/monitoring suspended load, bed load, bed material, and related hydrodynamic characteristics in rivers and streams. The workshop foci will include: technological advances, calibration and uncertainty issues, applications, and potential opportunities to use hydroacoustics to address new research questions.
