Notice of Intent to Award Federal Funds to the University of Mississippi National Center for Physical Acoustics (NCPA): 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.
