Wood moves! Wood is a dynamic component of river ecosystems, but wood incorporated into restoration projects is often stabilized while sites adjust to new conditions. How do we track the stability of wood added to restoration projects? Join us Tuesday, June 30th as we host Michael Rafferty, creator of the Computational Design Tool for Evaluating the Stability of Large Wood Structures.

This Excel tool provides equations to calculate a wood structure's resistance to hydraulic forces within a factor of safety. Michael will discuss the tool's theory, applications, and underlying assumptions. Click to check out the tool, and come prepared with questions for an engaged discussion with Michael.We'll cover the topic from root to branch - see you there!
