I have been extensively involved in engineering and geomorphic investigations of fluvial systems throughout the United States with highly variable morphologies and stability problems. I have worked closely with federal, state, and local agencies on fluvial systems where there are concerns and issues involving not only stream channel stabilization and rehabilitation, but also restoration, enhancement, and management of riparian and aquatic habitat. I am a co-author of FHWA’s HEC 20 and contributing author of HEC 23. I am a coauthor of NCHRP Report 533 - Handbook for Predicting Stream Meander Migration, NCHRP Report 653 – Effects of Debris on Bridge Pier Scour, and NCHRP Report 822 - Evaluation and Assessment of Environmentally Sensitive Stream Bank Protection Measures. I am also Co-Principal Investigator for NCHRP Project 24-27(3) Evaluation of Bridge Scour Research: Geomorphic Processes and Predictions and an instructor for the National Highway Institute's "Stream Stability and Scour at Highway Bridges" course.
