Abstract:Measuring bedload in sand-bed channels is important for a number of river and coastal management issues (e.g., sediment budget, channel stability, navigation, ecological habitat, coastal retreat) but it remains a challenging operation. Due to technical difficulties, cost, and field hazards, manual sampling techniques are often replaced by surrogate techniques such as dune-tracking from acoustical sounding of the bed topography. Bedform characteristics such as bedform height, wavelength, and velocity can be det… Show more
