The acoustical properties of bottom sediments in two lakes were shown to be strongly
correlated with clay content, organic C and total N concentrations, and other important …

Acoustic mapping and monitoring of thin contaminated sediments in inland waters requires
an optimized acoustic source. An experiment conducted in Hamilton Harbour, Lake Ontario …

Volume loss in water reservoirs due to sedimentation is conventionally estimated from the
change in bathymetric surveys repeated five or more years apart. Despite many recent …

Knowledge of sediment concentration is important in the study of streams and rivers. The
work presented explores using high frequency (20 MHz) acoustic signal attenuation to …

Acoustic measurements of suspended sediment have the potential to allow remote,
autonomous monitoring of sediment movements at much higher temporal resolution than …

Purpose Freshwater lakes and reservoirs can produce substantial quantities of methane
(CH 4) within bottom sediments. Due to its low solubility in water, CH 4 forms bubbles that …

Gas (methane)-rich sediments are common for eutrophic lakes, reservoirs, and the sea shelf.
Methane (CH4) is the most abundant hydrocarbon and one of the most important …

Rapid alterations of aquatic ecosystems associated with changing climate and growing
anthropogenic stress require the development of effective and low-cost acoustic methods of …

Marine sediments are complex physical and biological systems. The mineral grain size
distribution of a sediment sample can be very narrow (such as well-sorted sand) or can span …
