Geomorphic and sedimentary effects of modern climate change: current and anticipated future conditions in the western United States

AE East, JB Sankey - Reviews of Geophysics, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Hydroclimatic changes associated with global warming over the past 50 years have been
documented widely, but physical landscape responses are poorly understood thus far …

Modeling Post‐Wildfire Hydrologic Response: Review and Future Directions for Applications of Physically Based Distributed Simulation

BA Ebel, ZM Shephard, MA Walvoord… - Earth's …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Wildfire is a growing concern as climate shifts. The hydrologic effects of wildfire, which
include elevated hazards and changes in water quantity and quality, are increasingly …

Landslides after wildfire: Initiation, magnitude, and mobility

FK Rengers, LA McGuire, NS Oakley, JW Kean… - Landslides, 2020 - Springer
In the semiarid Southwestern USA, wildfires are commonly followed by runoff-generated
debris flows because wildfires remove vegetation and ground cover, which reduces soil …

Postwildfire soil‐hydraulic recovery and the persistence of debris flow hazards

MA Thomas, FK Rengers, JW Kean… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Deadly and destructive debris flows often follow wildfire, but understanding of changes in
the hazard potential with time since fire is poor. We develop a simulation‐based framework …

Shallow landslides and vegetation at the catchment scale: A perspective

C Phillips, T Hales, H Smith, L Basher - Ecological Engineering, 2021 - Elsevier
Shallow, rainfall-triggered landslides are an important catchment process that affect the rate
and calibre of sediment within river networks and create a significant hazard, particularly …

Forecasting the frequency and magnitude of postfire debris flows across southern California

JW Kean, DM Staley - Earth's Future, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Southern California has a long history of damaging debris flows after wildfire. Despite
recurrent loss, forecasts of the frequency and magnitude of postfire debris flows are not …

Deriving Debris‐Flow Dynamics From Real‐Time Impact‐Force Measurements

Y Yan, H Tang, K Hu, JM Turowski… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the impact forces exerted by debris flows is limited by a lack of direct field
measurements and validated numerical models. In this study, we use real‐time impact‐force …

Hydrogeomorphic recovery and temporal changes in rainfall thresholds for debris flows following wildfire

OJ Hoch, LA McGuire, AM Youberg… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Wildfire‐induced changes to soil and vegetation promote runoff‐generated debris flows in
steep watersheds. Postfire debris flows are most commonly observed in steep watersheds …

Movement of sediment through a burned landscape: Sediment volume observations and model comparisons in the San Gabriel Mountains, California, USA

FK Rengers, LA McGuire, JW Kean… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Post‐wildfire changes to hydrologic and geomorphic systems can lead to widespread
sediment redistribution. Understanding how sediment moves through a watershed is crucial …

[HTML][HTML] The recurrence interval of post-fire debris-flow generating rainfall in the southwestern United States

DM Staley, JW Kean, FK Rengers - Geomorphology, 2020 - Elsevier
Abstract In the southwestern United States, post-fire debris flows commonly initiate during
short bursts of intense rainfall. To date, the frequency of the rainfall rates has not been …
