[Acoustics] Hydroacoustics Workshop - 2007

[Kevin Oberg]

For your information, the USGS will be sponsoring a Hydroacoustics 
Workshop, April 2-6, 2007 in St. Louis, Missouri.  A formal 
announcement with registration Web pages and a call for abstracts 
will be released within the next 2-3 weeks.

The USGS, Office of Surface Water's Hydroacoustic Work Group (an 
advisory committee for the OSW) has put together a list of proposed 
sessions and topics.

=====================================================
Hydroacoustic Measurements
Open water section-by-section measurements
Measurements under Ice
Moving bed corrections
Hydrographic Surveying
Wave Measurements
Hydroacoustic Modeling
Hydroacoustic Modeling Applications
Flow Disturbance and Error Analysis
Hydroacoustic Data Management and Analysis
Quality Assurance and Sampling Theory
Data Visualization and Analysis of Hydroacoustic Measurements
Data Archiving, Data Format, and Standardization
Computation and Analysis of Tidally-Affected Measurements
Hydroacoustic Developments and Testing
Remote Control Boats and Data Communications
Instrument Testing and Intercomparisons
Future of Hydroacoustics (Missing Links)
Field Applications and Technologies
Acoustics and Sediment (SSC and bed load)
Field Applications I-III
Hydrographic Surveying
Field Biology and Hydroacoustics
Integration of Hydroacoustics into long term monitoring programs
Innovative Hydroacoustic Applications
Index Velocity
Index velocity ratings
Deployment Techniques for In-situ Velocity Measurements

=====================================================

More information will be forthcoming soon.  The Workshop will be held 
simultaneously with the National Surface Water Conference and should 
provide a good opportunity to learn about advancements in 
hydroacoustics.  The HAWG will also be sponsoring quite a few short 
courses in conjunction with the Workshop.  Please mark your calendars 
for this meeting and watch for updates to be posted to this list!
