John Gartner, M.A., Geomorphology/Hydrology
John Gartner is a geomorphologist serving ecological, species, and regulatory needs. He designs and monitors watershed-scale improvement programs that aim to restore natural geomorphic functions and habitat. He also leads or participates in projects on water rights, stream stabilization, urban hydrograph modification, biogeochemistry and GIS. Previously, he worked with NSF on Antarctic streams, erosion and flooding after wildfire with USGS, and biomonitoring of mountain and rangeland stream habitat with the University of California.
