Comparison of debris-flow volumes from burned and unburned areas
The goals of this work are to show the range of debris-flow volumes and watershed characteristics for several locations, and the differences in flow volumes for events triggered soon after wildfire. A dataset of 929 events was divided into groups…

Frequency–magnitude distribution of debris flows compiled from global data, and comparison with post-fire debris flows in the western U.S.
Forecasting debris flow hazard is challenging due to the episodic occurrence of debris flows in response to stochastic precipitation and, in some areas, wildfires. In order to facilitate hazard assessment, we have gathered available records of…

Hydro-geomorphic response models for burned areas and their applications in land management
Erosion, flash floods and debris flows are hydro-geomorphic processes that intensify due to catchment disturbance by wildland fire. Predictive models of these processes are used by land managers to quantify rehabilitation effectiveness, prioritize…

Hydrologic and erosion responses of sagebrush steppe following juniper encroachment, wildfire, and tree cutting
Extensive woodland expansion in the Great Basin has generated concern regarding ecological impacts of tree encroachment on sagebrush rangelands and strategies for restoring sagebrush steppe. This study used rainfall (0.5 m2 and 13 m2 scales) and…
