Course Description

 

(River Restoration Professional Certificate Core Course 3) The success of a river restoration project depends on the understanding of the river system and its function within the watershed. Complex interacting processes occur on a variety of temporal and spatial scales, and numerous tools are available to help analyze these processes and predict the likely impact of restoration measures. The ability to choose and implement assessment methods appropriate to the project at hand can make the difference between expensive studies that yield few useful results, and insightful tools that help guide planning for years.

This course will familiarize participants with the most widely-used assessment and reconnaissance methods in our region, and will provide a framework for developing river restoration assessment and monitoring plans. The focus will be on best practice methods and integrating new studies with watershed-wide and regional corridor studies. Led by Steve Sobieszczyk and Liz Gilliam, the course will feature instruction by regional experts in stream corridor evaluation / assessment techniques and modeling.
