Dalhousie University, of Halifax (Nova Scotia), in collaboration with Memorial University, of St. John’s (Newfoundland), and Nortek Scientific, of Halifax, received an ACOA-AIF grant to develop new automated acoustic instrumentation systems for high resolution measurement of fluid and sediment transport in aquatic environments. Some of the practical uses of the technology include shoreline protection and navigation channel maintenance. This project, with total estimated value of $1.8 million, will receive approximately $1.1 million from the Atlantic Innovation Fund over a five-year period.
