About this Event

River Systems Field Experience

with Anton DuMars

Wednesday, October 8 | 12 - 4 pm

BRN - Core

For the River Systems Field Experience, we will observe processes and indicators along the Davidson River, a Blue Ridge tributary of the French Broad catchment basin. We consider channel hierarchy (first order, second order, etc.). Our stops include observation and discussions of flow and flood indicators and river forms, such as cut banks, point bars, and flood channels. We observe sediment texture, sediment load, and consider sediment source.

This program will take place outside and will follow easy to moderate trails. Dress for the weather and prepare to be outside for the entire program time.

Anton DuMars, a resident of Black Mountain, NC, is an adjunct professor at the College of Charleston. His geological interests include fluvial, deltaic, and coastal processes. Ideally, he’s spending time on a hiking trail or aboard his sailboat.
