USC researchers are developing a computational model that combines satellite data and physics-based simulations to forecast a wildfire’s path, intensity, and growth rate. If you’ve ever been evacuated from your home during a wildfire, you’ll be aware of the terrifying unpredictability of the situation. From your location on the ground—rapidly gathering a few vital belongings and attempting to identify the best route to safety—there’s no way of knowing how fast a fire is growing or which direction it’s likely to take.
AI model accurately predicts the spread of wildfires in real time
