• Water Erosion Prediction Project (WEPP) is a set of interfaces designed to allow users to quickly evaluate erosion and sediment delivery potential from forest roads. Erosion rates and sedimetn delivery are predicted by the WEPP model, using input values for forest conditions developed by AWAE scientists.
  • Measuring Forest Road Erosion - Sediment is the greatest pollutant of forest streams. In the absence of wildfire, forest road networks are usually the main source of sediment in forest watersheds. An understanding of forest road erosion processes is important to aid in predictin sediment delivery from roads.
  • Sediment Delivery from Roads - WEPP and WEPP Road Batch are modeling tools optimized to rapidly predict sediment production and delivery on forest roads
  • Erosion Risk Management Tool (ERMiT) predicts the probability of sedimetn delivery with various mitigation treatments in each of five years following wildfire. The tool requires four inputs: climate, topography, soil, and vegetation
  • Measuring Water and Sediment Dishcharge - Researchers developed a new method of collecting and quatifying continuous discharge, along with coarse and fine grained sediment produced from forest roads
