Spatial And Temporal Variations In Stream Chemistry After Wildfire

Murphy , Sheila F 1 ; Writer , Jeff H 2 2 Presenting Author 1 U.S.G.S. 2 U.S.G.S. ; University of Colorado Past studies of stream chemistry after wildfire are conflicting. Some studies show increases in pH, turbidity, nutrients, metals, and other constituents, while others report little impact. Many of...

The Geomorphology Of Braided Streams In The Greater Yellowstone Region

Mueller , Erich R 1 ; Pitlick , John 2 1 Dept. of Geography, University of Colorado 2 Dept. of Geography, University of Colorado Braided streams and rivers are relatively rare in the Rocky Mountains of the Western U.S., except in the Yellowstone region of northwest Wyoming. This raises the...

A Method Of Predicting Peak Discharges For Areas Burned By The Fourmile Canyon Wildfire

Moody , John A 1 1 U.S. Geological Survey Extreme floods often follow wildfire in mountainous watersheds. The peak discharge for these post-wildfire floods has been shown to correlate with rainfall intensity. The relation between rainfall intensity and peak discharge per unit basin area is based on data from several...
