2025 Rosgen Short Courses & Workshops
Dave Rosgen is a Professional Hydrologist and Geomorphologist with field experience in river work spanning 49 years, 20 of which were with the U.S. Forest Service. He has designed and implemented over 70 large-scale river restoration projects. He developed a stream classification system, the BANCS streambank erosion model, the FLOWSED/POWERSED sediment transport models, the WARSSS methodology for cumulative watershed assessment, and a geomorphologic approach to Natural Channel Design restoration methodology. He utilizes his extensive experience to conduct short courses in watershed management, river morphology, restoration, and wildland hydrology applications. In addition, Rosgen is the author of Applied River Morphology and Watershed Assessment of River Stability and Sediment Supply (WARSSS) and over 70 reports and articles in research journals, symposia, and federal agency manuals. His projects have been featured in Time, Science, 5280, National Geographic, The Denver Post, and The New York Times.
