Toward a 3rd Generation Sediment Dynamics Sensing System

The objective of the proposed project is to advance the state-of-the-art of acoustic remote sensing systems for sediment and fluid dynamics studies in the wave-current bottom boundary layer. The particular focus of this project is the remote (and routine) measurement of bottom stress in energetic combined flows above mobile beds.
