- stream restoration (fluvial geomorphic processes and channel change
- wetlands hydrology (hydrogeomorphic conditions needed to create habitat)
- hydrogeology (groundwater flow and aquifer properties)
While keeping costs to a minimum, a state-of-the-art approach is used for every study. Services include:
- stream and wetland hydrogeomorphic surveys
- analysis of hyporheic exchange and bank storage
- wetland chemistry and hydrogeologic conditions
- stream discharge, sediment erosion or deposition, and
bedforms
- floodplain morphology and riparian corridor studies
- bank stability and channel avulsion
- incised channel and erosion mitigation
- bed armoring and improvement of channel substratum
- hydrologic modeling (HEC-RAS and GFLUVIAL)
- spatial analysis using Geographic Information Systems
(ArcGIS)
- environmental geophysical surveys (seismic, ER, EM, and GPR)
My goal in every situation is to accurately characterize the "real-world" conditions, identify potential problems, and develop restoration plans that work over the long term. With over twenty years of applied environmental consulting and university experience, my approach to stream and wetlands restoration is practical, modest, and innovative.
Let's work together to make this world a better place. One watershed at a time.
