| The Richmond Field Station (RFS) is an academic teaching and research off-site facility located 6 miles northwest of the UC Berkeley Central Campus on the San Francisco Bay that has been used primarily for large-scale engineering research since 1950. The 152-acre property consists of 100-acres of uplands with the remainder being marsh or bay lands.
The RFS has several flumes and channels, including a 30 m long by 0.86 m wide sediment feed flume, a 7 m long 1.5 m wide sediment feed flume, a 7 m by 4 m sediment basin for conducting experiments on self formed channel, a 12 m by 7 m sediment basin for conducting experiments on self formed channels, a 7m by 3m basin for conducting experiments on tie channels, and a 4 m vertically rotating drum for conducting experiments on granular and debris flows.
