Dear Friends of Rivers,
We invite you to join us this summer for the short course,
Geomorphic
and Ecological Fundamentals for River and Stream Restoration
17-22 Aug 2025, Sagehen Creek Field Station, Truckee, California USA.
This five-day introductory course (now in its 30th year) emphasizes understanding geomorphic and ecological process as a sound basis for planning and designing river restoration, covering general principles and case studies from a wide range of environments, and includes field measurements, mapping, interpretation, field trips to the Truckee River and streams in the Lake Tahoe Basin, and a workshop on stream restoration challenges faced by participants.
We gather at Sagehen Creek Field Station, combining a beautiful natural setting at 6,000-ft elevation with excellent research facilities, such as an outdoor classroom, stream table to demonstrate channel adjustments, on-site laboratory, and Sagehen Creek itself, with its rich history of research in fluvial geomorphology and ecology. Instructors are drawn from multiple disciplines, from both research and practice.
All meals are included from Sunday dinner 17 August through Friday lunch 22 August. On-site dorm-cabin lodging is available for $30/night. (Bring your own sleeping bag, mattress cover, and towel.) Participants are required to be fully vaccinated and non-symptomatic.
Registration for the course is now open at
https://berkeleyriverlab.org/geomorphic-ecological-fundamentals-of-river-and-stream-restoration/
Early-bird rates available until 31 May 2025. Please register early as the course can fill quickly.
We also recommend a more specialized course in sediment transport in river restoration:
Sediment transport in stream assessment and design
02-04 August 2025, Utah State University, Logan, Utah USA
This course is intended for those who wish to understand and apply the principles of sediment transport to alluvial channel assessment and design. Principles of open channel flow and sediment transport are combined with watershed-scale, hydrologic and sediment
source analysis to place channel assessment and design in the appropriate context. Tools for estimating sediment supply at the watershed to reach level are applied in class exercises. The course balances advance reading, lecture, field work, and hands-on exercises
for estimating sediment supply, calculating sediment transport rates, and forecasting channel response to water and sediment supply. This course builds upon the principles of river geomorphology taught in the Sagehen course; its lead instructor (Peter Wilcock)
is co-instructor of the Sagehen course. More info
