RUSH: Rapid Remote Sensing Updates of landcover for Storm and Hurricane forecasts
RUSH: Rapid Remote Sensing Updates of landcover for Storm and Hurricane forecastsRUSH is a tool for rapid repeat high resolution coastal vegetation maps to improve forecasting of hurricane impacts and coastal resilience. Vegetation cover in coastal settings significantly controls flooding, erosion, and barrier island breaching during extreme storms by reducing wave energy.

Why the trilogy matters: Hydrology, Geomorphology & Ecology
Why the trilogy matters: Hydrology, Geomorphology & EcologyIt is only in recent years that the restoration profession has begun to recognize the trilogy that links hydrology, geomorphology and ecology. Understanding the fundamental nature of this trilogy is essential to the effective restoration of all streams and wetlands. All three factors must be respected if any project is to be successfully planned, impleme

Think Like a Watershed, Act like a River: The Culture of Community Based River Restoration in the Arizona-Sonora, MX Binational Watersheds
Think Like a Watershed, Act like a River: The Culture of Community Based River Restoration in the Arizona-Sonora, MX Binational WatershedsAfter around 150 years of Powell’s watershed map, we are getting there….. Think like watershed with interdependence and connectivity of the uplands-middle lands and lowlands and act like a river being the connector of these interactions from the top to the bottom and vice versa.

Lessons learned using stream morphology and simple erosion control structures from the past decade that improve longevity and project performance
Lessons learned using stream morphology and simple erosion control structures from the past decade that improve longevity and project performanceThe use of simple erosion control structures, one-rock-dams, rock sills, trincheras, etc have gained great popularity in recent years. Ease of construction, relative cost and effectiveness are driving increased and widespread use.

Hydrological Restoration of Degraded Grasslands in Arid and Semi-Arid Communities
Hydrological Restoration of Degraded Grasslands in Arid and Semi-Arid CommunitiesWe live in the Anthropocene. The entire surface of the earth has been impacted by human activity and our land management decisions. In this context, most of the grasslands in arid and semiarid regions are experiencing severe and continuing degradation.
