Personal Statement:
Dr. Downs is a fluvial geomorphologist with 15 years expertise in the field of watershed processes and their effects on sediment transport, channel morphological response and river restoration efforts. He has expertise in geomorphic assessments at various levels of detail, river restoration design and planning including experiments within an adaptive management framework, post-project monitoring and evaluation, and integrated watershed planning. Dr. Downs has led geomorphic analyses in a variety of river habitats in the US, UK and New Zealand and with differing management objectives including river channel conservation, in-stream fisheries improvement, functional riparian improvement, flood defense and channel stability. Much of his work has been multi-disciplinary in nature involving links to hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, biological and habitat surveys and to stakeholder involvement in management solutions.
