Fee: $1600 5 Day Course
Prerequisites: Applied Fluvial Geomorphology or Fluvial Geomorphology for Engineers
General Description:
This course is designed to train individuals to delineate stream types using the stream classification method as published in "Applied River Morphology", Rosgen, 1996. A combination of lecture and field sessions will provide practical experience in the following subjects and activities:
- Integrating fluvial geomorphology concepts with problem solving techniques
- Learning and mapping land forms, land types and valley types
- Pre-mapping stream types on aerial photos and topographic maps
- Field validation of the bankfull stage at a USGS stream gaging station
- Field methods to properly measure morphological variables
- Field visits to all of the major stream types, A-G
- Ecosystem management applications using stream types such as:
a)fish habitat structure evaluation
b)riparian management/grazing methods
c)watershed management/cumulative effects assessment and analysis
d)hydraulic and sediment relations
e)engineering design concepts
This course covers levels I and II of the hierarchical stream inventory as published in Catena and "Applied River Morphology".
