UC Davis Classes

The course brought together students from different scientific backgrounds to study the San Juan River watershed, covering ecology, geomorphology, and management through classroom sessions and literature reviews. It culminated in a seven-day rafting trip for field data collection and analysis.

An extension of previous Ecogeomorphology Grand Canyon classes, this class was held in winter quarter of 2020.

An extension of previous Ecogeomorphology Grand Canyon classes, this class was held in winter quarter of 2018.

An extension of previous Ecogeomorphology Grand Canyon classes, this class was held in winter quarter of 2017.

An extension of previous Ecogeomorphology classes, this class teaches student participants about the geology, ecology, and management issues associated with the Grand Canyon and Colorado River.

This course seeks to introduced advanced undergraduate students to multidisciplinary collaborative watershed and stream analysis through combined laboratory and field study of a selected stream system. Topics relating to management of stream systems were discussed throughout with emphasis on the management of Sierra Nevada rivers in California.

An extension of previous Ecogeomorphology classes, this class is a field-based multidisciplinary study of the ecology, geomorphology and management of rivers in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, with a focus on the Tuolumne River watershed. Open to upper-division undergraduate students, the course brings together students from a range of biological and physical sciences and engineering backgrounds to address conservation and management issues in California watersheds.

This 3 unit graduate seminar will 1) familiarize student participants with the geology, ecology and management issues associated with the Grand Canyon and Colorado River in the context of global change, and 2) encourage students to become class “experts” in some critical issue or concept relevant to river science in the context of global change.
