Predicting the spatial distribution of postfire debris flows and potential consequences to native trout in headwater stream networks
Sedell ER. Predicting the spatial distribution of postfire debris flows and potential consequences to native trout in headwater stream networks. Research Permit and Reporting System
The probability of debris flow increases following wildfire, and identifying susceptible areas before wildfire occurs may provide information needed to protect remnant fish populations. Predicting wildfires and subsequent precipitation and runoff events is difficult; however, it is possible to identify channels that may be prone to debris flows. In this study, I conducted fine-scale spatial analyses of debris flow potential in 11 high-elevation stream networks of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
