Watershed Processes Laboratory  

Engineered large wood jams have long been implemented as a stream restoration strategy to create fish habitat. However, their effectiveness in streams of different sizes is rarely studied. The goal of her study is to assess the success of LW introduction over a range of stream sizes in an Oregon Coast Range basin. Her study is located in the Mill Creek basin, a tributary of the Siletz River.
