[ES_JOBS_NET] USGS Mendenhall 22-25. Advancing the operational capacity of postfire debris-flow hazard assessments through better understanding of debris-flow processes

[Rengers, Francis K]

Dear Colleagues,

The next cycle of the USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program provides a research opportunity to study postfire debris-flow hazards.

RO 22-15: Advancing the operational capacity of postfire debris-flow hazard assessments through better understanding of debris-flow processes
For postfire debris flows, the USGS performs hazard assessments using operational models to estimate the likelihood of debris-flow initiation and the magnitude of debris-flow volume. This opportunity is aimed at research to inform several emerging priorities related to postfire debris-flow hazards that will refine or result in new operational products.
