River Ecology Unit Summer 2018 Workshop:
The Fundamentals of River Science: Applied Geomorphology & Ecology
June 11-15, 2018 in Marshall, MN
Rivers and streams are formed by physical processes that define their geometry and quality and quantity of habitat. Hydrology, geomorphology, biology, water quality, and connectivity interact to determine the overall health of the stream. This course will discuss the interactions between geomorphology and ecology in the context of ecosystem health. Attendees develop the skills for field determination of bankfull stage, geometry and stream type, which are essential to stream assessment and restoration. This workshop is the first in our River Science Series so is a prerequisite to the three advanced courses. Cost is $1,000.
