Predicting Near Real-time Post-fire Landslide Debris Flows along ODOT Corridors

The main objective of this research is to develop tools that can be used to actively assess and address the potential for debris flows along Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) corridors in near-real time. This research will utilize landslide susceptibility modeling and ground surface monitoring research from SPR807, SPR808, as well as ODOT’s 2019 Surface Monitoring STIC grant project which successfully developed a field validated surface monitoring station prototype for active landslides.
