Welcome! The Large Wood Workshop at the Center for Wooden Boats, Lake Union, Seattle, WA
Technical Workshop on Large Wood Applications and ResearchNeeds in River Restoration Sponsor: U.S. Bureau of Reclamation & Support from : U.S. Army Corps of Engineers & King County, WA
Introductions • Lead: Jennifer Bountry (USBR) • Planning and Execution Team: Kendra Russell (USBR) Connie Svoboda (USBR) D J Bandrowski (USBR) Mike Sixta (USBR) Tim Randle (USBR) Jock Conyngham (Corps) ZacCorum (Corps) Catherine Petroff (UW/Corps) Andy Gendaszek (USGS) • Graduate Student Facilitators Jane Atha (UO) Sarah Davidson (UBC) Michael Gallisdorfer (UB) Claire Ruffing (KSU)
Goals • Identify large wood research and monitoring needs to improve reliability and reduce risk for river restoration projects. • What is the current state of science/engineering for large wood restoration projects in rivers? • What are pertinent knowledge gaps in the field of large wood design and implementation? • What opportunities exist for productive collaboration on large wood project activities and research between agencies and practitioners working in this field?
Schedule • Today: • Talk: Liability of Large Wood in Rivers - David Ekberg (Skellenger Bender) • Field Trip! In our 4 vans: • ????? • Cottonwoods • Cedar Stand • Aspen Grove • Log Jammers
Schedule • Tomorrow: • Session 1: System and Reach Scale Issues and Contexts in Planning Wood-based Restoration (Talks, Breakout, Discussion) • Session 2: Designing at Local Scale (Talks, Breakout, Discussion)
Schedule • Wednesday: • Session 3: Implementation and Monitoring (Talks, Breakout, Discussion) • Discussion: Workshop Product Outline and Next Steps
Discussion Outcomes for Each Topic • Identify tools/guidelines currently used to make predictions • Identify science and technology gaps • Identify research priorities and methods to address the gaps • Specify how risk and uncertainty need to be incorporated • Suggest needed field monitoring methods and discuss the temporal and spatial scales of the monitoring • Suggest opportunities for productive collaboration between agencies and practitioners working in this field
