Abstract:

Watershed disturbances following wildfire can have broad, long lasting, and variable influence on downstream hydrogeomorphic processes causing increased flood risk and sedimentation. With a changing climate, these post-fire downstream impacts may be enhanced by increasing wildfire frequency and severity compounded by increasing intensity of extreme precipitation. Anticipating and preparing for post-fire downstream infrastructure impacts has proved challenging for natural resource and infrastructure managers across the western United State. This has necessitated the development and evaluation of hydrology informed post-fire risk management decision criteria. Within this work, to improve understanding of long-term hydrogeomorphic watershed recovery, we continued to monitor streamflow and precipitation at an existing hydrologic monitoring network at the Grizzly Creek Fire, Colorado (2020). This data package includes our collected 2023 post-fire hydrologic streamflow and precipitation data.
