The Science Behind the Wildfire in Metropolitan Areas


Annually, forest fires around the world are one of the dangerous and unpredictable socio-natural hazards, damaging infrastructure and threatening the lives of citizens. One way to reduce uncertainty and generate ways to prepare for wildfires is through the use of data, geospatial and social sciences. Particularly relevant is the use of technologies such as satellite image analysis, machine learning or algorithms. Unfortunately, the technical language of these sciences does not allow many people to take advantage of these advantages and generate better fire prevention strategies.


Thanks to funding from AGU© Sharing Science 2021, this website has been created to share 6 graphic pieces aimed at disseminating scientific advances on forest fires to communities in an accessible and dynamic language. We hope that this page will be useful for everyone. Thank you so much for being here.
