Water and sediment supply requirements for post-wildfire debris flows in the western United States
USGS Landslide Hazards Program Seminar Series
We sometimes fall back on an implicit model that post-wildfire debris flows are only triggered once a certain level of saturation or rainfall is reached, and that the sediment supply is soon exhausted and future flows are unlikely until it recharges. In this research, we explore a revised model, that there is usually ample water in the system both before and after the flow, that antecedent moisture only plays a small role, and that sediment supply is not a limiting factor (this last one seems to be the case right now in Glenwood Canyon). We will also look at quantitative changes in debris flow abundance and impacts as a result of changing climate.
