About this listen

Ranger Theo Wilder breaks down the lethal physics of desert flash floods — why bone-dry soil rejects water, how sediment transforms floods into liquid concrete, and what the 2023 Derna disaster teaches us about desert hydrology. From storm mechanics to canyon topography, this episode explains why the driest landscapes produce the deadliest floods and how understanding the science keeps you alive in canyon country.
