Research into post-wildfire effects began in the United States more than 70years ago and
only later extended to other parts of the world. Post-wildfire responses are typically transient …

Farmland abandonment and the decline of livestock activity in the Mediterranean mountains
have resulted in dramatic landscape changes, including the generalized expansion of …

The aim of this work is to define reliable susceptibility models for shallow landslides using
Logistic Regression and Random Forests multivariate statistical techniques. The study area …

Debris flows and sediment-laden floods in the Transverse Ranges of southern California
pose severe hazards to nearby communities and infrastructure. Frequent wildfires denude …

Debris flows are a typical hazard on steep slopes after wildfire, but unlike debris flows that
mobilize from landslides, most postwildfire debris flows are generated from water runoff. The …

Debris flows are an important erosion process in wildfire-prone landscapes. Predicting their
frequency and magnitude can therefore be critical for quantifying risk to infrastructure …

Wildfires increase surface runoff and erosional processes from short and intense rain bursts.
In steep mountain watersheds, the progressive entrainment of material induced by surface …

Watersheds recently burned by wildfires can be susceptible to debris flow, although little is
known about how long this susceptibility persists and how it changes over time. We use a …

Channel changes are the consequence of changes in sediment yield from the slopes and in
the connectivity between slopes and channels because of distinct land use and climate …

Soil changes, including landslides and erosion, are some of the most prominent post-fire
effects in Mediterranean ecosystems. Landslide detection and monitoring play an essential …
