Moreover, geomorphologists are increasingly in demand to participate in ecological restoration projects because of the spatial and temporal scales at which they analyze channel change and sensitivity, which can provide insights for solving problems in river engineering (Giardino and Marston 1999) and ecological river restoration (Brookes and Shields 1996). As do all scientists, fluvial geomorphologists employ tools in their research, but the range of tools is proba ... read full excerpt from Tools in Fluvial Geomorphology ebook
