TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify and quantify functional relations between metrics of fire effects and soil hydraulic properties that will better represent the dynamic and transient conditions after a wildfire and determine the interaction between burned landscapes and temporally and spatially variable meso-scale precipitation, which is often the primary driver of post-wildfire runoff and erosion processes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors document the rainfall conditions that have triggered post-fire debris flows and develop empirical rainfall intensity-duration thresholds for the occurrence of debris flows following wildfires in these settings.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for estimating the volume of material that may issue from a basin mouth in response to a given storm was developed using multiple linear regression analysis of a database from 56 basins burned by eight fires.

TL;DR: In this article, an objective method to define the threshold intensities for post-fire debris-flow prediction is proposed. But, the objective method is limited to the number of correct predictions of debris flow occurrence while minimizing the rate of both Type I (false positive) and Type II (false negative) errors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a 10m Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of topography to evaluate the processes that generated fire-related debris flows in the watershed of Storm King Mountain, CO.
