Graphics and maps overviewing the wildfire model

Detailed Description

Overview of model ensemble synthesis approach: Simulations of wildfire ignitions (A) and fire perimeters (B,C) completed using climate projections from several general circulation models (GCMs) for the A1B, A2, and B1 emission scenarios were combined with watershed sediment yield estimates for the first year post-fire from 3 different GIS-based erosion models (D, E, F, G) to forecast future post-fire sediment yield for watersheds of the western USA through 2050 at the hydrological unit 8 (HUC8) scale.
