Join us in congratulating Ellen E. Wohl!

Ellen E. Wohl, Colorado State University, will receive the 2024 G.K. Warren Prize.

Wohl’s expansive work has expanded our understanding of fundamental fluvial and watershed processes in diverse environments ranging from the Arctic to the tropics. 

Wohl’s research on rivers, particularly those river channels with resistant boundaries of bedrock and large sediment clasts, ranges from examining hydraulics and sediment transport to studying biological-physical interactions and human impacts. Her work – on flow resistance, step-pool and other mountain channels, wood in river channels, and ecological aspects of stream corridors – is founded in field measurements.

Her work has dramatically influenced and guided river management and restoration worldwide. Wohl is the author of an extensive number of publications and books, introducing broad audiences to river science, and is an extraordinary mentor and role model for women in science. 

The G. K. Warren Prize recognizes distinguished accomplishment in fluviatile geology and closely related aspects of the geological sciences. The prize is presented every five years with a $20,000 prize. Established through the G. K. Warren Fund by gift of Miss Emily B. Warren.
