🌐SIG's @dsaah and Teal Richards-Dimitrie visited the WIFIRE lab at @SDSC_UCSD to connect with Ilkay Altintas’ team and map out pathways for large open-source community platforms focused on wildfire and landscape resilience and tour SDSC's cutting-edge data center. #GeoAI #GIS

Big news! PyreCast, our fire forecasting model, was featured on @kcranews, where they demonstrated how our tool can model fire spread over a period of 2 weeks. Thank you to Zeke Lunder (@wildland_zko) for getting the word to KCRA 3. Watch the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=779cse…

The 9th Annual @FirstStreetFdn Report is here! The report is based on wildfire modeling conducted by @pyregence and details how insurance premiums surge across the U.S. due to climate risks. Read more here: cnn.com/2023/09/20/bus… 🔥🌍

Experts at @forestservice note a shift: fire season's no longer seasonal; it's year-round. Winter's here, but Planscape is focused on reducing fire risk, boosting ecological benefits, and helping California's landscapes in adapting to #climatechange. 🌲🔥pressdemocrat.com/article/opinio…

New report alert! @USDA & @forestservice's Rocky Mountain Research Station just released an in-depth study on #Wildfires, revealing their threats & restoration opportunities. Fuel management is crucial for this balance. Read more: fs.usda.gov/rm/pubs_journa…🌲🔥#FireEcology #FireRisk

The 2023 wildfire season broke records for air #pollution in the U.S 🌫️#WildfireSmoke carries serious health risks. Planscape integrates potential smoke emissions metrics under the Air Quality pillar in California, aiding planning decisions. axios.com/us-climate-cha… #ClimateChange

.@Pyregence team member Dr. Charles Maxwell and other scientists analyzed 6 forest management scenarios in CA's Central Sierra & found that moderate prescribed burning can mitigate wildfire-related smoke exposures & improve #publichealth. nature.com/articles/s4189… 📚 #Wildfire

🔥 With the recent #TexasFires, our PyreCast #fireforecasting tool provides up to 14-day situational awareness information about active fire spread, fire risk & fire weather. With higher-resolution inputs & computational efficiency, check out pyrecast.org now #Wildfire

Very grateful to excellent collaborators @BiovIntCIAT_eng, @Imaflora, @SalfordUni, USAID/Brazil, and coauthors including, @puzzinicolau, @w_francesconi, @AmyDanielsGCC, @nekodawn, @BernardoCaldas8, @DimitrieTeal, @ShrewGod, @dsaah & more, plus support from #SERVIRAmazonia!

From the GeoFem event with @IICAnews in Costa Rica, peer mentor, Alexandra, shared her desire to be a voice for women and increase access to geospatial information. #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen Learn more about GeoFem here: servirglobal.net/news/geofem-wo…

Planscape will be at FSI today and tomorrow! Join us for live demos showcasing large-scale landscape planning in the Sierras, designed to further #forestmanagement and #wildfireprotection efforts. We hope to see you there! 🔥🌲 #FSI2024

New Post: GDAL and Google Cloud Storage (GCS). GDAL can directly read or write data to a cloud-storage bucket. The tricky part is setting up authentication. I document and explore best practices for using #GoogleCloud Storage with #GDAL Tools. spatialthoughts.com/2024/02/26/gda…
