Welcome to the website of the Erosfire project. This website gives a clear overview of the Erosfire project and all fire related studies.
The Erosfire project studies the post-fire effects on soil erosion, started with the aim to develop a software tool, integrated in a GIS-environment, that allows to assess and map, at the scale of individual hillslopes, soil erosion hazard in recently burned forest areas for different scenarios of post-fire land management, including “no-intervention” and considering diverse erosion mitigation and control measures.

|
This project began in 2005 with a simple methodology based on Rainfall Simulations and Open Plots focused at the slope scale, and then in 2007 the ErosfireII began to test this tool in other burned areason slope to catchment scale.
In this website you can observe some of the techniques applied in the study of soil erosion, since the beginning of the project till the latest’s advances on equipment and methods.

The Erosfire team is happy to announce the launching of the new Erosfire website! With more interactive possibilities and a document system this website is up to date for Web 2.0.
After quite some time of testing and preparing the website, finally the light can be turned on 'green' for the launching of this new website. The website is a professional website with many feature for interactivity. As a so-called Content Management System (CMS) based on Joomla this website is an ideal solution for an ever-growing website.

The General Assembly 2009 of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) will
be held in Vienna, Austria, from 19 to 24 April 2009.
The session on "Wildfire in Forest Landscapes: Desertification, Degradation, Debris Flows, & Damage Control", to be held within the European Geosciences Union 2009 Annual Meeting in Vienna, Austria, will be a remarkable opportunity to share results and present advances in understanding of the geomorphic impacts of wildfires.
