The science of post-wildfire debris flows has evolved rapidly over the past few decades as wildfires have become more frequent, larger, and more severe, impacting human health and the developed landscape. Post-wildfire debris flow science encompasses a wide variety of fields, including hydrology, geomorphology, engineering, remote sensing, atmospheric science, ecology, and data science. The intention of this workshop is to bring together a diverse set of researchers, practitioners, early-career scientists, and students from these fields to:
- Create a collective understanding of the state of the science,
- Identify major research and operations hurdles so new ideas can be developed to overcome them,
- Build relationships to facilitate cross-disciplinary partnerships and enable rapid knowledge transfer, and
- Identify and develop future research goals to improve models and move the science forward.
Registration fees for this workshop are significantly offset by generous support from the USGS Landslide Hazards Program.
