Wildfire can significantly alter the hydrologic response of a watershed to the extent that even modest rainstorms can produce dangerous flash floods and debris flows. The USGS conducts post-fire debris-flow hazard assessments for select fires in the Western U.S. We use geospatial data related to basin morphometry, burn severity, soil properties, and rainfall characteristics to estimate the probability and volume of debris flows that may occur in response to a design storm.
Seasonal variations in vegetation, rainfall, and soil moisture conditions have the potential to impact the slope stability of locally forested coastal bluffs in the Atlantic Highlands of New Jersey. Both the seasonality and rainfall amounts of the two types of storms that induce shallow landslides in the area vary considerably. Most of the documented historical landslides are the result of heavy rainfall caused by late summer-fall tropical cyclones. The majority of the remaining documented landslides are related to spring nor’easters and total storm rainfall amounts for these storms are generally lower than the rainfall amounts for the tropical cyclones. In order to assess how conditions that may affect the potential...

This collection contains GSFLOW and R-RHESSys model input and output files. CSC_model_files contains the baseline Cleve Creek model, T-only change model, and T-P change model. Model_results.rar is from R-RHESSYS model of climate projections of drought during the next 30 years (2016-2035) for the Cleve Creek watershed in Nevada. Within the .rar packaging are .dat files that contain outputs including net primary productivity (NPP), leaf area index (LAI), actual evapotranspiration (AET), soil moisture, groundwater level, streamflow, snow pack (as snow water equivalent, SWE). Geographic information: Site is Cleve Creek, a headwaters basin to Spring Valley in Eastern Nevada. Lower left corner of model grid is 701984...
