River systems globally have been impacted by various human pressures, including dredging, channel straightening and the construction of instream infrastructure (e.g. dams, weirs). Such stressors have severe consequences for river ecosystems and the services they provide to society. In response to this, river restoration schemes have been increasingly implemented in recent decades, often with an overarching objective of achieving ecological improvements. As such, it is critical to understand how different restoration activities are likely to facilitate ecological change.
We have developed this course to hold as a hybrid learning course, with material uploaded to an online learning platform for delegates to work through in their own time over a 4-week period. Following this, we will hold a 1.5 hour discussion session online for all attendees on the course to join and discuss the material.
