<br />additional monitoring has begun for recently burned (wildfire and <br />prescribed) watersheds in the Rocky Mountain region. These include, but <br />are not limited to, Storm King Mountain, Colorado (1994), Black Tiger in <br />Boulder, Colorado (1988), Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico (1996). <br />Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado (1996), Yellowstone National Park <br />(1988), Montana, and Boise, Idaho (1959, 1996). Interdisciplinary research <br />will provide scientific information for wildfire, forest ecosystem, and <br />hazard managers, and on hydrogeomorphic processes in burned watersheds. <br />Because of the uncertainty of where future wildfires and floods may occur, <br />a mobile monitoring approach as described here helps provide much of the <br />necessary information. <br /> <br />Acknowledgements. We greatfully appreaciate information Buffalo Creek <br />residents provided about the wildfire and flooding, particularly those <br />residents who monitor daily precipitation. <br /> <br />References <br /> <br />Barnes, H.H., Jr., and Davidian, Jacob, 1978, Indirect methods, in Hershey, <br />RW., ed., Hydrometry--Principles and Practices: New York, John Wiley, p. <br />189-190. <br />Cannon, S.H., Powers, P.S., Pihl, R.A., and Rogers, W.P., Preliminary <br />evaluation of the fire-related debris flows on Storm King Mountain, <br />Glenwood Springs, Colorado: USGS Open-File Report 95-508, 38 p. <br />Colorado Water Conservation Board, 1997, Emergency response, flood hazard <br />mitigation, and flood hazard awareness for residents of Buffalo Creek, <br />Colorado: Department of Natural Resources, Denver, Colorado, 18 p. <br />Evenstad, N.C., and Rasely, RC., 1995, GIS applications in the northem <br />Wasatch Front pre-fire hazard risk assessment, Davis and Weber Counties, <br />Utah: Utah Geological Association Publication 24, pp. 169-176. <br />Ewing, Roy, Postfire suspended sediment from Yellowstone National Park, <br />Wyoming: AWRA, Water Resources Bulletin v. 32, no. 3, pp. 605-627. <br />Florsheim, J.L., Keller, EA, and Best, D.W., 1991, Fluvial sediment <br />transport following chaparral wildfire, Ventura County, southern <br />California: Geological Society of America Bulletin, v. 103, p. 504-511. <br />Jarrett, R.D., 1990, Paleohydrology used to define the spatial occurrence <br />of floods: Geomorphology, v. 3, no. 2, p. 181-195. <br />Jarrett, RD., 1991, Paleohydrology and its value in analyzing floods and <br />droughts: USGS Water Supply Paper 2375, pp. 105-116. <br />Meyer, GA, Wells, S.G., and Jull, A.J.
