Management and Restoration of Alluvial Fans: A unique type of creek

Wed, Mar 19th 2008, 1:00pm - 4:00pm
The Napa and Russian River watersheds have a large number of alluvial fans. Alluvial fans are different in form and function from streams on the valley floor. Restoration projects in alluvial fan channels often fail due to a lack of understanding of these unique streams. This workshop will describe alluvial fan processes using local examples from Ukiah, Knights, Napa, and Cotati valleys. Appropriate management and revegetation practices will be presented.

Speakers include:
Dr. G. Mathias Kondolf, Fluvial Geomorphologist
Laurel Marcus, Executive Director, CLSI
