Post-fire hydrology refers to the study of how water flows and is managed in a watershed after a wildfire has occurred. This research area focuses on understanding how the loss of vegetation and changes in soil structure caused by a fire can impact the movement of water through a landscape. Post-fire hydrology studies typically investigate how the increased risk of erosion, sedimentation, and flooding can affect water quality, aquatic habitats, and overall watershed health. Additionally, researchers in this field seek to develop strategies for mitigating the negative impacts of wildfires on hydrological processes and managing water resources in fire-affected areas.
