Wildfire is an essential driver of hydrological and geomorphological change in the landscapes of the western United States. The changes catalyzed by wildfire affect the hydrology of landscape and can result in catastrophic flooding.
According to the New Mexico Forestry Division, during the 2020 fire season, 44,933 acres of land were burned due to wildfire. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and intensity of wildfires in New Mexico. This creates a need to develop proactive measures to prepare and respond to wildfires and post-wildfire flooding. In addition, headwater systems in New Mexico are highly vulnerable to wildfire. Many Tribal communities are located within the headwaters and this places them in a unique position to be the leaders in developing responses to wildfire.
