Rain Gauge installed after Grizzly Creek fire
Rain Gauge installed after the 2020 Grizzly Creek fire in Glenwood Canyon, Colorado. Scientists installed a network of rain gauges and soil moisture sensors throughout the rugged burn area. These instruments provide real-time data on rainfall intensity and duration, which are critical factors in determining the likelihood of a debris flow.

Latimer Brook High Flow
A long exposure shot shows the flow and direction of water through the gage pool during a high-flow event in April 2021. Looking upstream you can see the staff plate and a felled tree which is not impacting flow.
