Open-Source Tool Maps River Sand Dunes from Sonar Surveys
Original: New Open-Source Tool Maps River Sand Dunes Across Thousands of Sonar Surveys
A new open-source tool has been released that maps river sand dunes by processing thousands of sonar surveys. The software automates the analysis of underwater acoustic data, allowing researchers to track dune formation and movement in rivers at a scale previously impractical. It could aid studies of riverbed dynamics, sediment transport and flood management.
Why now: Researchers and water-management communities are interested in freely available tools that scale up analysis of riverbed data.
