Barbara Doll, NC State University, Raleigh, NC
Barbara Doll works with the Biological & Agricultural Engineering Department (BAE) at North Carolina State University and North Carolina Sea Grant. She joined NC Sea Grant in 1992 as a Water Quality Specialist. NC Sea Grant is a federal/state program dedicated to promoting the wise use of coastal resources.
Dr. Doll teaches courses in the BAE Department, conducts research, and leads outreach and education programs focused on repairing degraded stream systems, reducing the impacts of nonpoint source pollution, and evaluating the effectiveness of restoration practices. She has implemented numerous stream restoration demonstration projects throughout the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina and led a multi-million-dollar, three-phase effort to restore Rocky Branch, a stream that flows through the NC State campus and into the Neuse River watershed.
She completed her doctorate in 2013, with dissertation research focused on the comprehensive evaluation of stream restoration performance. Dr. Doll has authored numerous publications on stream restoration and stormwater management, including Stream Restoration: A Natural Channel Design Handbook and Stormwater Runoff Best Management Practices for Marinas: A Guide for Operators. Her work has been published in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Journal of Shellfish Research, and Water Environment and Technology.
Prior to joining NC Sea Grant, Dr. Doll worked as a staff engineer for Soil and Material Engineers in Raleigh, North Carolina, and as a research assistant in the Civil Engineering Department at NC State University.
