Claire Bareilles is an environmental Engineer-in-Training with a background in hydrology and hydraulics in riverine systems and water quality experience in natural and designed systems. She has experience in examining geomorphic and water quality changes in reaches that have undergone restoration work, as well as in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling applied to fish passage, habitat improvement, and water quality analysis. Claire contributes to design support through hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and calculations applied to stormwater management, river and stream restoration, floodplain mapping, and geomorphic analysis. In addition, she conducts fieldwork such as streamflow monitoring, site reconnaissance, and surveying. Claire is currently working to obtain her professional licensure in civil engineering with a focus on water resources. When she’s not at work, you can find her on the soccer field, at home baking tasty treats, or traveling.

Working with accomplished, intelligent, and supportive colleagues who are passionate about protecting and restoring our environment.

Anywhere where the natural surroundings make you feel small (the mountains, redwoods groves, expansive vistas).

The Mad River watershed is my favorite, up until this point, I have spent a much of my life and career up interacting with this watershed. It has treated me well, as I have explored my love of water and river systems.
