PhD and Master's Theses in River Restoration
Many Berkeley students conduct theses and dissertations on topics related to river restoration and environmental management of rivers and runoff from the landscape. These works are undertaken in departments across campus, but the greatest concentration has historically been in the Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning. Past topics include historical-geomorphic studies of large river systems, the effects of dams and gravel mining on watersheds, restoration master plans for rivers, habitat conservation strategies for threatened wildlife, and human uses of urban stream systems.
All dissertations/theses and some professional reports can be located (in hard copy) by searching Scotty by Title or Author, and limit the search field Format= Dissertations/Theses. In addition, a number of recent restoration-related dissertations and theses are now available in full-text below.
