22-25. Advancing the operational capacity of postfire debris-flow hazard assessments through better understanding of debris-flow processes | U.S. Geological Survey

For postfire debris flows, the USGS performs hazard assessments using operational models to estimate the likelihood of debris-flow initiation and the magnitude of debris-flow volume. This opportunity is aimed at research to inform several emerging priorities related to postfire debris-flow hazards that will refine or result in new operational products.

“National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites captured footage of the wildfires that have burned around 1 million acres of land in Alberta since early May, following a wave of unusually hot and dry weather conditions. Data collected by the satellites helps responders determine which areas will be impacted, to ultimately help manage the wildfires…”
