About the Riverscapes Consortium
We are a collective of scientists, riverscape practitioners, and supporters brought together by shared challenges and common motivations. Our goal is promoting healthy riverscapes for all.
We are committed to building open-source tools to make it easier for researchers, practitioners and students to manage their own riverscapes. The breadth of ecological challenges ahead of us requires a diverse community working together across disciplines, geographic boundaries, and perspectives. Our hope is that we can spark scientific collaborations worldwide to more effectively tackle the urgent challenge of riverscape degradation.
Our Mission
Promoting vibrant, healthy riverscapes for all where thriving ecosystems and human societies can coexist and benefit one another for a more resilient future.
