Dirt Goes Downhill: Are We Making Better Post-Wildfire Erosion Control Treatment Decisions?

This webinar is part of the Rocky Mountain Research Station’s Science You Can Use series of land-management focused webinars. To reduce the potential postfire erosion and flooding, various postfire mitigation treatments are commonly used on highly erodible areas when downstream values-at-risk are high. We have developed numerous online soil erosion prediction tools to allow for better post-fire land management decision-making. Our research results have brought a major shift in post-wildfire assessment methods and erosion management strategies.
