This research apprenticeship focuses on the impacts of dams on the marine sedimentary system and the impacts during dam deconstruction of the release of reservoir-trapped sediment into the marine environment. Rivers deliver tons of sediment each year into the Puget Sound area, creating a variety of seabed morphologies and habitats for benthic biology. Dam removal projects are becoming an attractive means of restoration for depleted fisheries, river ecosystems, and coastlines, and we are working to understand the full range of effects these restoration efforts will have.
