Dr. Brian Bledsoe received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University (CSU) in 1999 with an emphasis in environmental river mechanics. His doctoral dissertation examined the effects of watershed urbanization on stream stability, erosion, and physical habitat. Dr. Bledsoe is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at CSU. Dr. Bledsoe's research and teaching interests are focused on the interface between engineering and ecology with emphasis on stream and watershed processes and multi-scale linkages between land use, hydrology, sedimentation processes, channel stability and water quality.
