Stratifying Landscapes for Varying Intensities of Land Management
Field studies, aerial photo interpretation, and modeling are used to predict the erosion potential of individual hillslopes to entire landscapes. With increasing resolution of data and analysis, erosion-prone areas can be isolated providing a template for varying the intensity of land management.

Terrain Analysis in Support of Watershed Restoration and Conservation
Not all parts of watersheds or river corridors are created equal or have the same ecological quality. Terrain analysis allows an examination of watersheds to entire landscapes to identify physical and biological hotspots for targeting restoration and conservation. Hot spots might include certain tributary confluences, wide valley floors, and other topographic forcing of riverine heterogeneity.

Watershed Modeling of Land Use and Natural Variability
Field studies represent only snapshots in time and often fail to provide the bigger environmental picture. We have been a leader in developing interdisciplinary computer simulation models of forest fires, erosion (including landslides and debris flows), wood recruitment, sediment transport, channel changes, and fish habitat.
