Erosion Hazard after the 1993 Southern California Fire

9408470 Dietrich该项目将记录南加州最近发生野火的地区对冬季降雨的反应。 这些地点的地形，地质和气候将导致侵蚀反应是大的和昂贵的，就像在以前的野火，如1991年奥克兰火灾风暴。 这项工作的目的是确定在该地区几乎每年发生的这些事件之后将使用的适当缓解措施。 除了广泛记录对火灾的侵蚀反应外，该项目还将收集关于所采取的侵蚀控制措施的有效性的实地证据，并将利用这些数据指导和评估数字地形模型，以预测景观对火灾的反应。 这些知识将提高对侵蚀过程和所采取的缓解措施质量的了解。 ***

9408470 Dietrich The project will document the response to winter rainfall in the areas of the recent wildfires in Southern California. The topography, geology and climate of these sites will cause the erosional response to be large and costly as in previous wildfires like the 1991 Oakland firestorm. The objective of the work is to determine the appropriate mitigation measures to be used after these events which occur in this region almost every year. In addition to the broad documentation of the erosional response to the fire, the project will collect field evidence on the effectiveness of the erosion control measures taken, and will use this data to guide and evaluate a digital terrain model for predicting landscape response to fire. This knowledge will improve the understanding of the erosional process and the quality of the mitigation measures to be taken. ***
