Expertise

Melinda Daniels’s research program focuses broadly on the fluvial geomorphology, hydrology, and stream ecosystem ecology of both “natural” and human-modified river systems, from reach to watershed scales. Her interests include river restoration, watershed management, and stream ecosystem science.

Daniels’s work includes examining how people perceive river environments and the process of communicating science to river managers and stakeholders. Essentially, her research perspective examines rivers as coupled human and natural systems.
