Summary by wildfire of all postfire erosion modeled estimates and field-based observation for large fires 1984—2021

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 10:12 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 20, 2025 at 12:00 AM
These data show all the postfire erosion results affiliated with this data release summed by wildfire and attached to a polygon of each fire perimeter, as defined by Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS). The results are shown as attributes for each polygon of wildfire perimeter. Some of the original MTBS data (name, ignition date, and ID) were preserved to allow for joining to other MTBS data. Results include WEPP modeling results of hillslope and channel erosion, a sum of postfire debris flow modeling results and field-based measurements, and a few derived results such as total sediment and total yield (mass per area).
