Science Fellowship

Science Fellowship Program

In 2023 we envisioned and implemented a Stillwater Science Fellowship Program that aims to engage external experts in Stillwater projects, and elevate the use of science and engineering to develop and support practical solutions to complex challenges in natural resource management and recovery. These distinguished scientists bring a wealth of expertise and experience in various fields related to ecology, hydrology, engineering, and climate change. They work closely with our staff and clients on a range of projects, from restoring salmon habitat in the Pacific Northwest to assessing the impacts of drought and fire in the Southwest. They also contribute to our publications, webinars, and workshops, and help us shape our strategic vision for the future. We look forward to welcoming our third cohort of fellows in 2026.
