Get Funding for Acoustic Tech & Infrastructure Projects
Summary
This grant opportunity supports the development and implementation of passive acoustic monitoring systems for infrastructure projects. Researchers and institutions can receive funding to innovate and build advanced listening technology for critical infrastructure.
Eligibility
Full 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.
