 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.
In addition to the
courses offered in Flagstaff, Az, we can also travel and hold workshops
in your area. For more information, contact

Geomorphic Processes of Natural Channels in the Arid Southwest
Instructor: Tom Moody, P.E.
|
|
|
A 5 day workshop designed to
introduce participants to the fundamentals of fluvial and geomorphic
processes in the arid southwest. The course includes classroom lecture
and hands-on field experience. Subjects include channel and floodplain
morphology, field identification of bankfull stage, basic field survey
techniques, and natural channel classification. An introduction to
stream assessment and geomorphic/bioengineering design will be included.
Prerequisite: Basic
Surveying Skills
Cost: $850

Inventory and Assessment of Natural Channels
Instructor:
Tom Moody, P.E.
|
| A 5 day workshop designed to
introduce participants to the principals and practices for
inventory and assessment of natural channels in the arid
southwest. The course includes classroom lecture and hands-on
field experience. Subjects include natural channel
classification, channel stability assessments, bank
erodibility, riparian vegetation inventory, impacts analysis,
and reference condition. A basic understanding of the
geomorphic processes of natural channels is necessary to
prepare participants for this workshop. This workshop will
be held along the Little Colorado River in Springerville,
Arizona.
