In spring quarter of 2006, this Ecogeomorphology course studied the Green River from the tailwaters below Flaming Gorge Dam through the Gates of Lodore, past the confluence with the unregulated Yampa River, ending at Split Mountain in Dinosaur National Monument.

Yampa-Green 2019

The course examined the ecology, geomorphology, and management of the unregulated Yampa River in comparison to the regulated Green River, with participation from undergraduate and graduate students across various scientific disciplines. Through classroom instruction, literature reviews, and a seven-day rafting expedition on both rivers, students conducted field data collection and analysis as a culmination of their study.
