Evaluation of post-wildfire debris flow mitigation methods and development of decision-support tools
In this study we analyzed the effectiveness of erosion control treatments in reducing post-fire debris-flow volume. We used detailed surveys of series channel cross sections in 46 basins in Colorado, Utah and California to develop graphs of the…

Adequate and reliable erosion prediction tools are needed for sound forest resources management. Numerous watershed models have been developed during the past. These models, however, are often limited in their applications largely due to their…
