Around 70% of floodplains in the USA currently display poor floodplain integrity due to degradation by human activities

Are you working on #largewood in #fluvial #ecosystems?
Check out our #EGU23 session:
“Wood-flow-sediment interactions in fluvial ecosystems” (GM 5.5 @EGU_GM )
and submit an abstract until January 10!

I’m looking for a postdoc interested in researching human impacts to river-floodplain connectivity! If you’re a good fit for this NSF-funded position @CSU_CivE, please consider applying. @CSUEngineering @ResearchCSU @TransformIMW jobs.colostate.edu/postings/…

New paper alert🚨
Urbanization plays a crucial role in flood extent changes. Hydroclimatic variability alone cannot explain variability in seasonal surface water.

It’s been another great year of fieldwork at this site downstream of the Cameron Peak Fire burn area! This year we saw a big debris flow, multiple other floods, continued riparian veg recovery, and lots of large wood transport!
Great opportunity with a great advisor at a great school!
I'm looking for a new PhD student! Will have some flexibility to choose their project, but will likely involve some combination of groundwater, InSAR, geophysics, process-based and machine learning modeling. If interested, see this link: remote-sensing-hydrology.com…
Excited to work with Nick (a @bse_vt grad) on his PhD!
We welcome Nicholas Christensen to our doctoral program! Nicholas is working with Prof. @ryanrmorrison on network scale hydraulic modeling with simulated stream restoration techniques. He looks forward to rock climbing in Poudre Canyon.

Have fun today, first-years, hiking the A. Beautiful day for being above Fort Collins! Classes tomorrow! @CSU_CivE @CSUEngineering @ColoradoStateU @VisitFtCollins #BacktoSchool2022 – at Colorado, USA
Welcome, @jderbique19!
We welcome @jderbique19 to our master's program! Jack will work with @ryanrmorrison to calibrate 2D hydraulic models to post-fire regions & more accurately depict flood in these regions. "I am looking forward to playing more gigs around local bars & restaurants with a funk band!"

Seeking a full-time research associate to work on Indigenous post-fire governance and management priorities in the SW US, other forest/fire governance studies, and building the CSU Climate Adaptation Partnership. MS or PhD necessary. Plz RT and apply! jobs.colostate.edu/postings/…
Great new paper that links geomorphic complexity with river corridor processes.

This is a UAV-SfM point cloud and orthophoto of my field site that had a large flood recently. I'm amazed that even in the point cloud, you can see the direction of flow (L to R lines in the light-colored grass) on the floodplain where the grass was laid down. @ryanrmorrison
Need an estimate of long-term flow alterations at your research site? We've produced the data to help you out! Check out our new study that maps flow alterations across CONUS at the NHDPlus COMID-level.

Have you heard of "BRR?" It's short for "beaver-related restoration," a hot topic in stream restoration! A new study found that BRR increased water storage and reduced stream temperatures in a watershed in Washington state: ow.ly/9zOs50K3Vue

Big surprise to find our headwater field site washed away by a flash flood! Sensors are gone...but so many opportunities for new research! Plus, it was a great field day with new students. #largewood #flood #rivers

A study co-authored by @ColoradoStateU #fishecologist Yoichiro Kanno explains how narrow tributaries can rescue fish populations threatened by habitat fragmentation. Read about the implications of this study on Colorado’s #cutthroattrout population at col.st/FbLbZ.
