in support of the Igiugig Photo from Energy.gov (RivGen庐 Power System on station in
Village Council's Kvichak River, Igiugig, 91视频 prior to deployment July 2015) "Next
Generation MHK River Power System, Optimized for Performance, Durability and Survivability"
US Department of Energy funded project.
The mooring will be deployed in the Kvichak River to monitor water column ice and
velocity over the next 6 months. The real time monitoring system was designed by AHERC
intern Andrew Cannavo working under Nick's supervision. The measurements are in support of ORPC Inc.'s effort to deploy their
