  • Abstract
    We present high-resolution bathymetry and side scan data taken from an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) over an area of Loch Ness located between the villages of Dores and Balchraggan. The bathymetry data reveal details of bedforms including sediment waves at depths down to 65 m. The uniform normalised side scan indicates homogenous composition over most of the survey area and ripple field.
