Research collaboration among scientists and government agencies set to accomplish essential monitoring of ecological, hydrological, and geomorphic processes at BSR. The BSR restoration experiment will test a new paradigm of ecological restoration of aquatic landscapes and resources that have been buried beneath historic sediment, and will provide better understanding of the mechanisms responsible for development and stability of landscape patterns in ACFS.
