Paper on suspended-sediment response to wildfire and post-fire floods
A team led by USFS scientist Dr. Sandra Ryan monitored fluvial suspended-sediment concentrations for three years after a severe wildfire in northern Colorado. One year after the fire, our study area experienced a ~100-year flood. In this paper we explore how watersheds respond to fire-flood sequences, which has important implications for the sustainability of the water supply in the American West. Find it here.
