A virtual presentation of Roaring Fork Conservancy's Brooksher Watershed Institute featuring: Jason Kean, Ph.D., Research Hydrologist, Land Slide Hazards Program at U.S. Geological Survey Following the worst wildfire season in history, Colorado was hit again by a series of destructive flash floods and debris flows triggered by 2021 monsoon rains. The impacts of debris flow in Glenwood Canyon were especially severe and the threat of repeat events remains. I will discuss the science of predicting post-fire debris flows and outline the ongoing interagency work to identify these hazards and mitigate impacts. I will also describe the state of vegetation recovery and discuss the likelihood of events next year.
