Geomorphic and Ecological Fundamentals for River and Stream Restoration
17-21 August 2015, Truckee, California 
This five-day introductory course emphasizes understanding geomorphic and ecological process as a sound basis for planning and designing river restoration, covering general principles and case studies from a wide range of environments. The course integrates hydrology, hydraulics, sediment transport, geomorphology, aquatic ecology, fisheries, and riparian ecology, and includes field measurements, mapping, and interpretation. Now in its 20th successful year, the course is held at Sagehen Creek Field Station, combining a beautiful natural setting with excellent research and teaching facilities. Course materials include Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology (John Wiley & Sons), relevant papers in pdf, and printed field and lecture notes.

Sediment Transport in Stream Assessment and Design
27-31 July 2015, Logan, Utah
This course emphasizes applications of the principles of sediment transport to alluvial channel assessment and design. Principles of open channel flow and sediment transport are combined with watershed-scale, hydrologic and sediment source analysis to place channel assessment and design in the appropriate context. Tools for estimating sediment supply at the watershed to reach level are applied in class exercises. Threshold and alluvial channel design methods are presented along with guidelines for assessing and incorporating uncertainty. The course balances advance reading, lecture, field work, and hands-on exercises for estimating sediment supply, calculating sediment transport rates, and forecasting channel response to water and sediment supply. Intended for participants who are familiar with basic principles of river geomorphology.
