Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical
Monograph Series, Volume 194. Stream Restoration in Dynamic Fluvial
Systems: Scientific Approaches, Analyses, and Tools brings together
leading contributors in stream restoration science to provide
comprehensive consideration of process-based approaches, tools, and
applications of techniques useful for the implementation of
sustainable restoration strategies. Stream restoration is a catchall
term for modifications to streams and adjacent riparian zones
undertaken to improve geomorphic and/or ecologic function, structure,
and integrity of river corridors, and it has become a multibillion
dollar industry. A vigorous debate currently exists in research and
professional communities regarding the approaches, applications, and
tools most effective in designing, implementing, and assessing stream
restoration strategies given a multitude of goals, objectives,
stakeholders, and boundary conditions. More importantly, stream
restoration as a research-oriented academic discipline is, at present,
lagging stream restoration as a rapidly evolving, practitioner-centric
endeavor. The volume addresses these main areas: concepts in stream
restoration, river mechanics and the use of hydraulic structures,
modeling in restoration design, ecology, ecologic indices, and
habitat, geomorphic approaches to stream and watershed management, and
sediment considerations in stream restoration. Stream Restoration in
Dynamic Fluvial Systems will appeal to scholars, professionals, and
government agency and institute researchers involved in examining
river flow processes, river channel changes and improvements,
watershed processes, and landscape systematics.
