Dr. David Sear seminar

David Sear visited from the University of Southampton, UK, and gave a seminar: What does process-based restoration mean in groundwater-dominated low-energy river systems with 6000 years of human history?

David encouraged members of our lab to see as many different rivers as possible, so in the spirit of his advice we took him for a tour of a mountain river in the Southern Rockies.
