NC State University Stream Restoration Program

This 3-day workshop provides an overview of stream processes related to channel and floodplain formation, bankfull stage identification, regional hydraulic geometry curves, applications of the Rosgen classification system for natural streams in the Southeast, and stream stability assessment. Students work in small groups in the field to measure stream physical conditions and calculate stream morphology relationships for channel dimension, pattern, and profile. Students also learn about field techniques for measuring streambank erosion, pebble count techniques for substrate analysis, and channel stability.

Schedule: 8am-5pm on Days 1 and 2; 8am-3pm on Day 3
