Fall Term
***Page update in progress. Video coming soon***
Course Description:
A river runs through natural settings, a river runs through urban environments. Most rivers in the world have been impacted by human activities. Our goal is to gain a solid understanding of river dynamics and related ecosystem services. As engineers in this course, you will learn:
-
-
Fundamental scientific principles at play in aquatic environments
-
Methods to restore habitats for specific ecosystem functions and services
-
Monitoring tools for long-term sustainable assessment of stream health
-
Term Project:
Investigate local stream conditions, identify specific ecosystem functions in need of restoration, design and test a scaled-down prototype (depending on solution chosen) based on local biota needs
Labs:
Use laboratory and field diagnostic tools; quantify dominant hydraulic, ecological and biological parameters defining stream health at a local stream field site
