Eric Donaldson is a project manager and senior geomorphologist and hydrologist who specializes in the application of coastal, fluvial, and hillslope geomorphology and hydrology to solve complex problems in water-based ecosystems. He has managed, designed and conducted a wide variety of geomorphic assessments and analyses, including sediment-transport studies, surface/groundwater interactions, and restoration and fish passage designs. He also evaluates constructed restoration projects for success. Eric is a skilled communicator and excels at conveying complex geomorphic, hydrologic and engineering concepts. He assists clients with regulatory and multiple stakeholder negotiations while meeting the constructability goals of a restoration project. Eric also provides EIR and water rights support through climate-change analysis and hydrologic model development. He has extensive experience with the collection and analysis of topographic, hydrologic and geomorphic data and has conducted hydrologic field studies in diverse settings, fish passage assessments, stream and habitat restoration, and water quality investigations. Eric is an advanced surveyor and uses remote-sensing instrumentation applied to GIS platforms.
