Planning and mitigation for post-wildfire sediment hazards to transportation infrastructure
This project will develop a geodatabase of past post-fire sedimentation impacts and new, easy-to-use geospatial tools to help Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) rapidly assess (post-fire) and plan for (pre-fire) direct post-fire sedimentation hazards to transportation infrastructure in burned landscapes. The project objectives are to: (1) Survey past post-fire debris flow and erosion/sedimentation impacts; (2) Develop machine-learning models for potential future wildfire severity; and (3) Develop a geospatial toolkit for planning and rapid assessment of direct, post-fire sediment hazards in transportation corridors. These datasets and tools will be designed to help prioritize long-term infrastructure planning and design given increasing wildfire risk, as well as to facilitate rapid post-fire hazard assessment to transportation infrastructure.
