About the course
Taught since 1992 (the longest-running course devoted to river restoration at a major research university), this course emphasizes understanding of underlying goals and assumptions of restoration and integration of science into restoration planning and design. Students review restoration plans and evaluate completed projects. In addition to lectures and discussions by the instructor, students, and an extraordinary set of guest lecturers drawn from the active restoration community, the principal course requirement is an independent term project involving original research. The term projects are peer-reviewed, revised, and ultimately added to the permanent, web-searchable collection of the UC Water Resources Center Archives.The Fall 2008 course starts on Wednesday, August 27, at 6:00 pm in 315A Wurster Hall. The class meets once per week, from 6:00-9:30 pm Wednesday evenings through December 10, 2008.
