Workshops
Natural Channel Design, Inc.
workshops are based the geomorphic approach initiated by Luna
Leopold and others in the USGS and includes the stream
classification and assessment techniques developed by David Rosgen
of Wildland Hydrology. The workshops also integrates the more
traditional engineering and hydraulic concepts into the geomorphic
principles as appropriate. While many of the course's concepts apply
to natural channels across the country, these workshops rely on the
instructors' specific research experience in the river systems of
Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Workshops includes classroom lectures
and hands-on field training.
Class
sizes are limited to 25 persons to increase the “hands on” nature of
the training. The courses are designed to provide participants with
the understanding and tools to make accurate, consistent stream
inventory, assessments, and designs as part of their duties.
Classroom instruction includes applied exercises in characterizing
and assessing natural channels. Field time includes hands-on
experience with all field measurements.
