Systems and methods are provided for developing a self-contained conductivity concentration profiler (CCP) system for standalone coastal and ocean deployment. A self-contained CCP system in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure can measure sediment concentration profiles and track instantaneous bed levels in sandy environments to enable better understanding of small-scale sediment transport processes in the coastal and nearshore marine environment. A self-contained CCP system in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure can support unmanned and standalone deployment configuration, allowing for operation in previously unattainable areas of interest in which small-scale sediment transport processes are important but poorly understood.
