Watersheds
Terrain-based Ecosystems
The goal of the Watersheds research program is to discover and advance the fundamental relations needed to predict landscape evolution and to model the coupling of ecosystem, landscape, and land-use dynamics. It is an approach that motivates fieldwork with hypotheses derived from topography, and it captures and integrates the findings for prediction.
In our Watersheds research program we work to develop quantitative expressions for the fundamental processes and dynamic interactions of water, sediment, and biota that are involved in landscape evolution. One central theme in NCED Watersheds research is to exploit high resolution digital topographic data to advance hypotheses, guide field work, and test theories.
