Bushfire Hydrology

Explore the impacts of bushfires on catchment hydrology and aquatic fauna in this 58-minute webinar. Delve into the effects of high-intensity fires on soil structure, stream turbidity, and water temperature. Learn how to adjust parameters in hydrologic and hydraulic models, and design resilient hydraulic structures in response to increasing bushfire severity due to climate change. Examine historical events, future trends, and the consequences of the 2019-20 Australian fires on in-stream fauna, supported by laboratory studies on species adaptation to post-fire conditions. Gain insights from expert presenters on topics including forests, fire and water, erosion and water quality, and the response of fish, frogs, and crayfish to bushfire impacts.
