Using an Understanding of Stream and Riparian Geomorphic Sensitivity and Ecological Resilience to Guide Management Part 1

Part 1. Watershed processes and traits

Tuesday, April 25th | 10am MST

This webinar provides a framework for assessing and characterizing the geomorphic sensitivity and ecological resilience of upland watersheds based on their predominant processes and the controls on these processes.  The presenters illustrate how understanding the sensitivity, resilience ,and process interactions can be used to assess the nature, magnitude, and potential responses of watersheds and stream reaches to disturbances and to determine their potential for restoration.

Registration is required.

Part 2. Meadow hydrology and traits 

Thursday, April 27th | 10am MST

This webinar provides a framework for understanding and characterizing the ecological value and hydrologic support for meadows and for identifying key threats.  The presenters illustrate how understanding the present-day status and sensitivity of the meadows can be used to prioritize areas for management and guide management strategies based on the potential for restoration.
