Colin Barry

Colin Barry has been working along the Colorado Front Range on projects that include city-wide master planning, post-wildfire hydrologic modeling, process-based stream design, fluvial hazard delineation, and geomorphic assessments. He develops and deploys stream assessment and prioritization strategies highlighting spatial variation throughout riparian systems with cost-effective collection methods.

A rewarding focus for him has been the 2013 flood recovery work along the Front Range, including designing resilient stream systems to operate in confined urban settings as well as more natural settings with minimal encroachment. He helped municipalities in southern Colorado to model and prepare for increased flooding and sediment input resulting from the Spring Creek Fire.
