Overview

Kevin D. Bladon is affiliated with Oregon State University in the United States and has a research portfolio focused mainly within the field of Environmental Science. Their work spans over 100 publications, with significant contributions in several subfields including Global and Planetary Change, Ecology, Water Science and Technology, Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law, and Soil Science. This broad engagement reflects a multidisciplinary approach to environmental research.

Their key research topics cover a range of areas predominantly related to fire effects on ecosystems and hydrology. These include Fire effects on ecosystems, Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies, Landslides and related hazards, Hydrology and Sediment Transport Processes, Plant Water Relations and Carbon Dynamics, Soil erosion and sediment transport, and Flood Risk Assessment and Management.

Kevin D. Bladon has published frequently in the following venues:

  • Hydrological Processes
  • Journal of Hydrology
  • Forest Ecology and Management
  • OSTI OAI (U.S. Department of Energy Office of Scientific and Technical Information)
  • Biogeosciences

Recent publications demonstrate a focused interest in wildfire impacts and hydrologic recovery processes. Selected recent papers include:

  • Scientists' warning on extreme wildfire risks to water supply, 2021, Hydrological Processes
  • Long-term hydrologic recovery after wildfire and post-fire forest management in the interior Pacific Northwest, 2020, Hydrological Processes
  • Reimagine fire science for the anthropocene, 2022, PNAS Nexus
  • Post-wildfire hydrologic recovery in Mediterranean climates: A systematic review and case study to identify current knowledge and opportunities, 2021, Journal of Hydrology
  • Projecting impacts of wildfire and climate change on streamflow, sediment, and organic carbon yields in a forested watershed, 2020, Journal of Hydrology

The scientist collaborates regularly with several colleagues, indicating a network of frequent co-authors. These co-authors include Allison Myers-Pigg, Alan Roebuck, Emily Graham, Samantha Grieger, and Joseph W. Wagenbrenner. Such collaborations suggest interdisciplinary and possibly cross-institutional research efforts.
