Speaker: Mike Stone
Title: A Wildfire Case Study in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Date: Thursday, March 18, 2010
Category: Seminar

The Southern Rockies Watershed Project was established shortly after the 2003 Lost Creek wildfire (> 210 km2) to describe both the early magnitude, and subsequent trajectory of recovery of a broad range of watershed “values” in the high water yielding region of Alberta’s Southern Rockies. The research area located near the Crowsnest Pass (Alberta) encompasses 7 large instrumented watersheds including burned (3), burned & salvage logged (2) and unburned watersheds (2). This presentation describes changes in runoff dynamics and water quality during five years (2004-2008) to highlight water quality and quantity management challenges in a changing climate.
