River Architect was developed in the Pasternack Lab for Watershed Hydrology, Geomorphology, and Ecohydraulics at University of California at Davis, Department of Land, Air, and Water Resources.

River Architect is the result of research projects funded by

• The Yuba Water Agency (Marysville, California, USA) under Award #201016094 and Award #10446)
• The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Hatch project number CA-D-LAW-7034-H.

The scientific procedures integrated into River Architect are the result of a dedicated development team and many researchers who contributed useful hints. Therefore, special thanks goes to Lukas Schmocker, Isabella Schalko, Virginia Ruiz-Villanueva, Carmelo Juez, Fabian Friedl and John Stella for their inputs regarding wood introduction, side cavity dynamics, sediment replenishment and riparian vegetation plantings in riverine environments.
