The increasing wildfire and post-fire debris-flow threat in Western USA, and implications for consequences of climate change
In southern California and the intermountain west of the USA, debris flows generated from recently-burned basins pose significant hazards. Increases in the frequency and size of wildfires throughout the western USA can be attributed to increases in…

Three years of hillslope sediment yields following the Valley Complex fires, western Montana
The 2000 Bitterroot Valley wildfires provided an opportunity to measure post-fire effects and recovery rates. We established 24 small (0.01 ha [0.02 acre]) plots in four high-severity burn sites. We measured sediment yields at each site with silt…

Climate and wildfire area burned in western US ecoprovinces, 1916-2003
The purpose of this paper is to quantify climatic controls on the area burned by fire in different vegetation types in the western United States. We demonstrate that wildfire area burned (WFAB) in the American West was controlled by climate during…
