Computing and Data Sciences Improve What We Know About Wildfires and How to Fight Them
Posted on Written By
By Rachel Leven. Our understanding, planning, and response to wildfires benefit from connections with data and computing sciences, UC Berkeley researchers say. Recent developments in machine learning and simulations can help first responders detect fires earlier, predict fires’ paths and limit blazes quickly. Through collaborations with practitioners in other fields like microbiology and forest management, these tools are answering previously intractable questions about fires that can inform policy and practice. “Data science is this common language that we all need to speak in order to get this really full, rich picture,” said Ciera Martinez(link is external), research lead for biodiversity and environmental...
