Predicting Bedload Transport in Gravel-bed Streams:
Computation and Field Techniques (Bedload)

	Hosted in coordination with the University of Colorado, Johns Hopkins University, Colorado State University, USFS Stream Team

Objectives & Description:

Upon completion of this course, you will be able to...

• Concepts:

• understand the fundamentals of sediment transport modeling with special emphasis on gravel-bed streams;
• explain sources of error in making transport estimates;
• understand the data needed and evaluate the different options available for making transport estimates based on objectives and data availability.

• Computations:

• learn to use the BAGS (Bedload Assessment for Gravel-bed Streams) software that includes six bedload transport equations;
• understand how to select an appropriate model and how to evaluate the reasonableness of outputs.

• Field Techniques:

• learn how to collect field data needed to run bedload equations;
• gain an improved understanding of bedload samplers, including bedload traps and Helley-Smith samplers.

This course is a combination of lectures, computer labs, and field demonstrations.
