Landels-Hill Big Creek Reserve

16 Dec, 08 AM - 17 Dec, 01 AM

My long-time research focus is the development of low-cost, small-scaled, vegetationally-based techniques for stabilization and rehabilitation of eroded areas, particularly those associated with trails, roads, and other elements of human-induced disturbance within a research reserve context. Within research and teaching reserves, as opposed to other land use classes, for example, there are significant issues about bio-degration of stabization materials, potential animal entanglement, contamination of the local environment, and other matters that may or may not be explicitly addressed in reserve management plans. My long-term research site is a badly eroded first-order drainage on highly metamorphisized Franciscan melange("The Gully") at the UCSB Sedgwick Reserve. I am presently on reconnaissance for other potential research sites on other UCNRS reserves for comparison studies.
