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.

There are no workshops scheduled at this time. Please let us know if we can tailor a workshop to your specific project or need.
