Impacts of wildfires on streams: hydrology and biogeochemistry

I have conducted both meta-analysis of previously published data, as well as large data analysis of data from Federal Agencies (US Geological Survey) to analyze the effect of wildfires on streams. These effects manifest as single- and multi-year impacts on streamflow, as well as changes in water quality.
