Restoration Ecology
Across the country, irreplaceable resources are increasingly at risk. Environmental stresses — wind, water, weather — take their toll as do population growth and urban development. Accommodating growth while preserving, restoring, and conserving natural resources is challenging, but vital to individual communities and economic strength as a whole.
The Restoration Ecology Team conducts research in watershed management and restoration of compromised ecological systems. Project scope includes development of:
- Community-based watershed planning and management programs
- Ecosystem restoration for rivers, wetlands, estuaries and coastal environments
- Remediation methods for abandoned industrial sites or brownfields
- Practices to prevent and manage water pollution caused by stormwater runoff
- Forest and wildlife habitat regeneration and management emissions
