Welcome to the Riverine Ecology Lab
@ Washington State University
The [Riverine] Ecosystem Ecology Lab focuses on understanding stream and riparian (aka riverine) ecosystems around the world with a focus in western North America. We use a set of geospatial and field based tools. Sample products:
- Cosens, BA, DR Hedden-Nicely, J Boll, and AK Fremier. 2026. Water Law of the Western United States for Non-Lawyers. [Book]
- Assessing global, regional, and national progress towards 2030 and 2050 food system targets and benchmarks
- Linking Remotely Sensed Hydromorphological Conditions With Biological Observations to Estimate Salmon Spawning Capacity (Jared Stieve MS)
- Governance and resilience as entry points for transforming food systems in the countdown to 2030
- Nurturing gastronomic landscapes for biosphere stewardship
- Bias and variation in salmonid redd counting using remotely piloted vehicles (Danny Auerbach PhD)
- Securing Nature’s Contributions to People requires at least 20%–25%(semi-) natural habitat in human-modified landscapes
- Authority corridors – Mapping the legal-ecological landscape for re-building habitat connectivity (Amanda Stahl Phd)
- Quantitative food webs to evaluate riverine restoration actions (John Jorgensen PhD)
- Resilience of headwater-dependent water resource systems across the Americas
