课程简介:This series of lectures is designed for students concentrating in fluvial geomorphology, water-resources engineering, stream investigation, management, stabilization and restoration. The course is designed to clearly demonstrate the essential links between force and resistance in process-based geomorphic investigations, research, analysis, design, project implementation, and post-project evaluation. Lectures will introduce the fundamental concepts linking streambank processes and geomorphic adjustments in the fluvial system. Field methods to rapidly evaluate the relative stability of alluvial channels and to quantify force and resistance mechanisms that control streambank-erosion processes, failure mechanisms, and the importance of basal scour to sustained bank retreat will be described in detail. Hands-on modeling will provide students with the opportunity to investigate the factors which control bank stability, while also recognizing the significance of these factors when designing mitigation measures. All students will be provided with bank-stability modeling software (with sound effects) for future use, and other relevant technical documents or papers.

SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONSDr. Simon is a geomorphologist with 32 years of experience in mechanistic analysis of unstable-channel systems, channel evolution, streambank erosion, cohesive-sediment entrainment, the role of riparian vegetation, “reference” sediment-transport rates, and river restoration, working on projects throughout the United States and around the globe. His expertise is in quantifying the effects of imposed channel and landscape disturbances, and mitigation measures on channel response and sediment loads. He is an internationally recognized scientist and project manager, designing field, laboratory and numerical-modeling studies, leading and participating in field data collection, analyzing and synthesizing data, and preparing technical reports. He is the author of more than 100 technical publications and the editor of several books. Dr. Simon has designed, conducted, and managed projects focusing on the adjustment and evolution of channel systems, development of a mechanistic bank-stability model for stream restoration, sources and magnitudes of sediment delivery, quantifying potential sediment-load reductions according to restoration strategy, determining “reference” rates of sediment transport for TMDL development, and US climate trends over the past century.
