Title

NSW post-fire debris flow susceptibility map

Abstract

Debris flows are extremely damaging and dangerous post-fire hazards that can cause significant short- and long-term impacts to rivers and aquatic ecosystems, water quality, and infrastructure. However, they are relatively poorly documented in NSW. High-resolution aerial imagery highlights significant debris flow activity in parts of NSW severely impacted by the 2019/20 Black Summer bushfires, specifically the Tuross, Tumut and Lake Burragorang catchments which were mapped in detail. This inventory of debris flow occurrences was used to train and validate a predictive logistic regression model using key predictor variables slope, fire severity, aridity, geology and soil erodibility. The model outputs can inform assessments of future potential hazards to threatened aquatic species, remote infrastructure such as roads and properties, and drinking water reservoirs and associated infrastructure.

NSW Debris flow probability-Logistic regression model output (classified)

Name: NSW Debris flow probability-Logistic regression model output (classified)

Protocol: WWW:DOWNLOAD-1.0-http--download

Description:

The logistic regression model's final output values underwent classification into three distinct classes. The classification cut-off ranges were defined as follows: Values ranging from Zero to 48% were classified as 1 (Zero/Low probability), 48% to 72% were assigned as 2 (Moderate probability), and 72% to 100% were identified as 3 (High probability). To gain a clearer understanding of how the cut-offs were defined, refer to the accompanying report, ‘Post-fire debris flows in NSW: Susceptibility modelling and implications for management’. The report will be available soon.

Description:

An ArcGIS Server web service represents a GIS resource such as a map, locator, or image that is located on an ArcGIS Server site and is made available to client applications. Depending on the layers enabled, this web service allows a user to query its features and/or visualise the dataset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS/ArcMap.

Additional information source

Debris flow mapping within study areas (Tuross, Tumut, and Burragorang) for training models relied on satellite imageries dated subsequent to the 2019-2020 NSW bushfire. High-resolution (~7 cm) NearMap acquisitions of aerial imagery across a broad swathe of lower Tuross catchment (12/03/2020 and 23/01/2021) and Lake Burragorang region (17/01/2021) allowed mapping of discrete post-fire debris flows. This inventory of known debris flow occurrences, supplemented by debris flow mapping undertaken by the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) - NSW Government (2023) in upper Tuross catchment (17/01/2022 - 14/02/2022) and in the Tumut catchment (03/01/2021 - 09/10/2021).
