Hi-Def sonar System Finds Trees on Lake Bottom

Caption

A borrowed boat, a small mountain lake and the inaugural run of a half-a-million dollar state-of-the-art multi-beam sonar system made history this month with the successful high-definition mapping by University of Nevada, Reno, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography researchers of the bottom of Fallen Leaf Lake, a tributary lake just upstream from Lake Tahoe.
