NCED Stream Restoration Project is a community site for Stream Restoration science, education
and training hosted by the National Center for Earth surface Dynamics. It provides a place for stakeholders
in the field of Stream Restoration to come together to share advances in science, innovations in practice,
and opportunities for education and training.

STREAM RESTORATION in Lake Tahoe, CA.

This introductory five-day short course covers environmental river management and restoration, emphasizing
principles of fluvial geomorphology and their applications. Taught by leading researchers and practitioners
in the field, the course incorporates current research findings and innovative management approaches. This year,
the course has moved to a new location in the Sierra Nevada Mountains at the beautiful Granlibakken Conference
Center in Lake Tahoe, CA. The overall content of the course will be similar to last year\'s, with adaptations
to the new environment that will be updated on the website and in course information as it develops. The course
emphasizes understanding and measurement of geomorphic processes, linkages to ecological processes, basic sediment
transport relations and transport rate estimates, as well as geomorphological field techniques and interpretation
of maps and aerial photographs, effects of human activities on geomorphic processes and channel form, and development
of management and restoration strategies based upon an understanding of the underlying cause of channel change in
rivers, rather than prescriptive approaches.
The University of Maryland and Maryland Department of Natural Resources present The Ecological and Geomorphic
Principles of Stream Restoration
This five-day introductory course at Cromwell Valley Park in Baltimore County presents the ecological and
geomorphologic foundations of stream restoration, emphasizing their application in restoration practice.
The course focuses on understanding and measurement of ecological and geomorphic processes and their application
within an integrated approach to stream restoration. The course is designed for anyone that deals with rivers and
streams and who can benefit from a more indepth understanding of how they work - engineers, geologists, biologists,
planners, land managers, landscape architects, and government officials. The number of participants is limited to
25 to provide ample opportunities for one-on-one instruction. The 2005 course closed out and included graduate
students and professionals from the Mid- Atlantic and West Coast. The course may be taken for graduate credit ($2,286)
or as a non-credit workshop ($1500). All course materials and most meals are provided. Hotels are nearby for out of
town participants. For information on registration go to:
