Barbara Doll Email & Phone Number

I currently work for the Biological & Agricultural Engineering Department (BAE) and North Carolina Sea Grant. I joined NC Sea Grant in 1992 as a water quality specialist. Sea Grant is a federal/state program that promotes the wise use of coastal resources, http://ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/. I teach courses in the BAE department, conduct research and implement outreach and education programs focused on repairing degraded stream systems, reducing the impacts of nonpoint source pollution and assessing the effectiveness of restoration practices. I have implemented numerous stream restoration demonstration projects in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain of North Carolina and was the leader for a multi-million dollar, three-phase project to restore Rocky Branch, a creek that runs a mile through the North Carolina State University campus and is a tributary to the Neuse River. I completed my doctorate in 2013 and my dissertation research focused on the comprehensive evaluation of stream restoration performance. I have authored a number of publications on stream restoration and stormwater runoff, including Stream Restoration: A Natural Channel Design Handbook and Stormwater Runoff Best Management Practices for Marinas: A Guide for Operators. I have been published in Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Journal of Shellfish Research and Water Environment and Technology. Prior to joining Sea Grant, I worked as a staff engineer for Soil and Material Engineers in Raleigh, N.C. and as a research assistant in the Civil Engineering department at NC State.
