David Shaw, M.L.A., P.G., Hydrology/Geology
Dave Shaw uses various field and research skills to investigate wetland areas, ground water and stream systems through watershed analysis, monitoring, and real-time automated stream gaging. He has developed basin-wide studies to evaluate and characterize seasonal ground water-river interactions, water quality trends, and stream channel morphology to aid in habitat conservation and restoration planning. David's academic research focuses on the link between landscape analysis and restoration design.
