Wetland Stream Ecology/River Function
The Government provides training courses that are managed through the US Army
Corps of Engineers Learning Center (ULC) in Huntsville, Alabama. These courses require technical or specialized information taught by experienced and or certified instructors at Government or Military facilities or educational institutions to help fulfill the mission.
Course #192 Background. The Wetland Stream Ecology course provides detailed and specialized knowledge in the science of the biological, chemical, and physical aspects of stream ecology. This includes providing an environment or the student that will enhance their understanding of the interrelationships between hydrology, geomorphology, water quality, and biota. An emphasis will be on fluvial geomorphic processes which are important to shaping and reshaping the active river channel and its associated floodplain. The function of the hyporheic zone in gravel Bed Rivers will also be discussed and shown in field sites. Wetland stream botanical flora (plants) and fauna (animals) will be studied at the stream habitat and landscape scales.
Course #426 Background. The Wetland River Function course provides detailed and specialized knowledge on the application of hydrogeomorphic (HGM) wetland functional assessment methods. The Corps of Engineers regulatory and civil works efforts must be done within the guidelines and constraints of the National environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the Clean Water Act (CWA), and other legislation.
