This year, the students of Ecogeomorphology (ecology, geomorphology, and management of western US rivers) focused on the Salmon River, Idaho as an example of a watershed of management importance. The Mainstem of the Salmon River is a free flowing large river and a part of the heavily regulated and socially and economically important Columbia River watershed. The class studied the importance of the Salmon River in the larger context of climate change, habitat restoration, wildfire, and fisheries management.
