Fee: $1750 5 Day Course
Prerequisite: Good basic survey skills
General Description: This course is designed for professional river engineers to demonstrate how geomorphic principles can be used to develop environmentally sensitive and sustainable engineering design procedures. Instruction will be given on the flow and sediment transport processes that control channel form. The application of these principles for river stabilization, bridge pier scour control, flood alleviation, urban drainage and river restoration/natural channel design will be illustrated. This course will combine field and lecture examples for a diverse assemblage of river types
We are fortunate to have as co-instructor for this course, Dr. Richard Hey from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England, the author of numerous books and professional papers, a professor, practitioner in
engineering as well as a consultant for the US Army Corp of Engineers, Water Ways Experiment Station in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
(This course fills the level 1 prerequisite for the Rosgen level II course)
Instructor: Richard Hey, PhD
Dr. Hey graduated in Geography at Bristol University
(1965) and was subsequently awarded a Ph.D. from Cambridge University for his research on the "Morphology of Gravel-Bed Rivers". He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Chartered Institute of Water and Environmental Management. He is currently Professor of Applied Environmental Sciences in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK specializing in River Mechanics and Engineering.
Dr. Hey's research, funded by UK Research Councils, has focused on the processes controlling natural river morphology and the development of design equations for predicting their dimension, pattern and
profile. This includes fundamental work on secondary flows and shear stress distributions, flow resistance, sediment transport and bank erosion as influenced by both in-bank and over-bank flows, and on the
mechanisms controlling meander development.
Dr. Hey has conducted applied research, supported by UK Research Councils and Government Agencies, Environment Agency, British Rail, US Army Corps of Engineers and Maryland State Highway, amongst others, including work on the design of flood alleviation schemes and the restoration of natural rivers, restoration of lowland river habitats, effect of river engineering works on channel stability, instream structures to control erosion and deposition, bridge pier and abutment scour control and on channel forming discharge.
Dr. Hey has published seven books and over eighty refereed papers relating to his research and consulting work. For this research, he has received the Marshall Nixon Award from the Chartered Institution of
Water and Environmental Management and the J. C. Stevens Award from the American Society of Civil Engineers.
He has served on the International Standards Organization Committee on Sediment Transport and was responsible for initiating the International Workshop on Gravel-Bed Rivers in 1980. Dr. Hey is a member of the ASCE's Task Committees on Bridge Pier Scour and Sedimentation Engineering for River Restoration
Instructor: David L. Rosgen, PhD
Registered Professional Hydrologist and principal hydrologist of Wildland Hydrology Consultants.
He has 42 years of experience in stream morphology, restoration, sedimentology, stream classification development and applications, grazing and riparian systems management, cumulative water resource impact assessment and modeling, fish habitat enhancement, and conducts research in river studies. He designs, supervises, contracts and monitors a variety of large scale river restoration projects throughout the United States. Dave conducts short courses throughout North America for government agency personnel, universities, and consulting firms in river morphology, restoration, and Wildland hydrology. Dave is the author of "Applied River Morphology", published in 1996.
