These data are associated with a project to integrate new science and technology into invasive carp control efforts. Mississippi River Lock and Dam 19, located at Keokuk, IA, is an area where sound deterrents are being installed to help keep invasive carp from moving upstream. The data are being used to analyze the lock and dam approach structure.
A high-resolution sidescan image of the Mississippi River, Lock and Dam 19 approach (downstream) was collected with a Humminbird Solix. Side-imaging sonar creates an image of underwater riverbed features by measuring the intensity of acoustic reflections. This mega side-imaging sonar data was collected and mosaicked to capture more detailed information on the condition of the lock approach to provide information for the construction and deployment of an underwater acoustic deterrent system.
