Biographies

Wildland Hydrology was established in 1985 by Dave Rosgen and specializes in training courses that focus on fluvial geomorphology, watershed assessment and management, river restoration, and monitoring. The training courses are designed to provide hands-on experience for professionals working with rivers and their watersheds. The course offerings allow individuals to progress through a range of interrelated courses beginning with the fundamentals in Basic Survey Skills and Applied River Morphology and continuing through the more complex River Restoration & Natural Channel Design.

Wildland Hydrology has also assessed, designed, implemented, and monitored over 70 large-scale river restoration projects throughout North America in addition to projects in Africa, Central America, and South America. Recently, Wildland Hydrology developed a master watershed and river restoration plan for the Trail Creek Watershed in Colorado to reduce the accelerated sediment yields following the Hayman Wildfire of 2002. A permit has been issued for the watershed restoration plan

Stream restoration

Work to improve the environmental health of a river or stream

Stream restoration or river restoration, also sometimes referred to as river reclamation, is work conducted to improve the environmental health of a river or stream, in support of biodiversity, recreation, flood management and/or landscape development.^[1]

Stream restoration approaches can be divided into two broad categories: form-based restoration, which relies on physical interventions in a stream to improve its conditions; and process-based restoration, which advocates the restoration of hydrological and geomorphological processes (such as sediment transport or connectivity between the channel and the floodplain) to ensure a stream's resilience and ecological health.^[2]^[3] Form-based restoration techniques include deflectors; cross-vanes; weirs, step-pools and other grade-control structures; engineered log jams; bank stabilization methods and other channel-reconfiguration efforts. These induce immediate change in a stream, but sometimes fail to achieve the

Dave Rosgen, PhD, PH
Wildland Hydrolgoy
Fort Collins, CO
Dave is a Professional Hydrologist and Geomorphologist with field experience in river work spanning 49 years, 20 of which were with the U.S. Forest Service. Dave has designed and implemented over 70 large-scale river restoration projects. Dave developed a stream classification system, the BANCS streambank erosion model, the FLOWSED/POWERSED sediment transport models, the WARSSS methodology for cumulative watershed assessment, and a geomorphologic approach to Natural Channel Design restoration methodology. Dave utilizes his extensive experience to conduct short courses in watershed management, river morphology, restoration, and wildland hydrology applications. Dave is also the author of Applied River Morphology and Watershed Assessment of River Stability and Sediment Supply (WARSSS) and over 70 reports and articles in research journals, symposia, and federal agency manuals. Dave and his projects have been featured in Time, Science, 5280, National Geographic, The Denver Post, and The New York Times.
