Next Meeting May 27th in FORT COLLINS

The next Colorado Geomorphology Organization (CoGO) meeting is on Wednesday, May 27, 2009 in FORT COLLINS. We will be meeting at 7:00 pm on the campus of the Colorado State University (Warner College of Natural Resources, Room #320).

Dan Cenderelli will be giving a talk on "Restoring geomorphic and ecological continuity at road-stream crossings.” Dr. Cenderelli is a fluvial geomorphologist/hydrologist for the Stream Systems Technology Center and is responsible for the full scope of technical issues addressed by STREAM. Some of the activities that Dan is involved with include a variety of channel maintenance technical issues, fish passage technical guides, diversion studies, bedload transport prediction in gravel-bed rivers, streamflow data reduction software, water yield estimation technology, and improving the application of BMPs in the Forest Service. Dan received his Ph.D. in Earth Resources in 1998 from Colorado State University. For his doctoral research, Dan investigated the flood hydrology, flow hydraulics, and geomorphic effects of glacial-lake outburst floods in the Mount Everest region of Nepal. Dan received his M.S. degree from West Virginia University where his research evaluated the geomorphic effects of debris flows (triggered by extreme rainfall) on channel morphology in the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia.
