This project focused on understanding and predicting wildfire risk in Brazil’s Pantanal wetlands, which in 2024 experienced the most intense early-season fires on record.  As part of the Summer School 2025 activities, we worked on two key questions: (1) How do land use changes and environmental extremes (e.g., drought, wind, temperature) influence the spatial extent of burn areas? (2) Can spatiotemporal data integration and GeoAI methods improve early-stage wildfire risk mapping?  In this session we'll share our process and results.
