This resource contains volume and inundation data for the 15 debris flows included in Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Final Report 23-1-01-28. Specifically, it includes a CSV file titled "DebrisFlowVolumes_Locations.csv" and a zip folder titled "DebrisFlowInundation," both of which are described in more detail below.

DebrisFlowVolumes_Locations.csv

This csv file includes information regarding the location and volumes of all 15 debris flows. It contains six columns:

Study Site - In most cases, this is the name of the fire after which the debris flow initiated. For three debris flows that initiated in unburned settings, it is the name of the general area where they occurred (e.g., White Sands Missile Range).
Inundation Scenario - The name of the debris-flow event. There can be multiple inundation scenarios per study site, although this is not always the case.
State - The state(s) in which the debris flow occurred. 
Volume - The volume of sediment deposited downstream of the watershed outlet, in cubic meters.
Deposit Latitude - The Y coordinate of the centroid of the debris-flow inundation extent (WGS 1984).
Deposit Longitude - The X coordinate of the centroid of the debris-flow inundation extent (WGS 1984).

DebrisFlowInundation Folder

This folder contains polygons that delineate the extent of the mapped debris flows. Specifically, there are 11 subfolders with names that correspond to the 11 unique study sites listed in DebrisFlowVolumes_Locations.csv. Within each folder are shapefiles with the following naming convention: studysite_inundationscenario_inundation.shp. If a given study site has multiple inundation scenarios, as listed in the csv file, then there will be multiple shapefiles within its folder.
