Today, for the first time, Andrew drove away from our headquarters in Carbondale, Illinois with his very own Emriver Em3 in tow. In those years, Andrew has taken our in-house Emriver models all over Southern Illinois and taught hundreds of people, from local public school teachers to Carbondale Boys & Girls Club members, to college students at SIUC, to Carbondale Farmers' Market shoppers. Stay tuned for more.Р”Р„ndrew Podoll, SIUC alum and former GK-12 HEART fellow, local environmental educator, and founder of Project Eco ROVER, has been a friend and colleague of Little River Research & Design for over four years.

Or you can purchase the entire series on DVDР’В from Little River.This is another in a series of posts in which weРІР‚в„ўre featuring some of our many interesting and impressive colleagues. A DVD with all videos is included with a model purchase. (Many of the videos are also available online, hosted by Carleton College. Each video in the playlist includes a description, but you can also download a teaching guide. Our YouTube channelР’В includes a playlist of all these River Geomorphology videos. Examples of the videos include headcuts, tributary incision, meandering, wetland draining, bank failure, mining, effects of dams and weirs. Little River Research & Design and the Missouri Department of Conservation made a series of videos using the Emriver models to help students better understand geomorphic processes in rivers.

The Vermont Agencies of Natural Resources, in partnership with the Vermont Agency of Transportation, developed the Rivers and Roads Program using the Emriver Em2 geomodel to explain how rivers work and how to design, construct, and maintain roads and bridges to create greater river stability and more flood-resilient transportation infrastructure.

Hydrographs make your own or use the pre-programmed flood events and hydrographs using the Alix digital flow controller.

Stream surveying cross sections and long profiles.
