Research Programs
Desktop Watersheds Integrated Project's goal is to discover and advance the fundamental relations needed to predict landscape evolution and to model the coupling of ecosystem, landscape, and land-use dynamics
The Subsurface Architecture Integrated Project's goal is to understand how channel dynamics in depositional systems control the porosity, permeability, geometry and connectivity of subsurface fluid conduits and reservoirs so as to improve the prediction of subsurface architecture at all scales and facilitate exploration for and management of subsurface resources.
The Stream Restoration Integrated Project's goal is to advance the science and practice of stream restoration by conducting and coordinating research and by working with agency and industry partners to identify information needs, develop improved tools, and transfer this knowledge into practice
