Can we apply machine learning techniques to predict where wildfires are most likely to spread? This project explores a subset of that question: for one point in time (December 22, 2019), can we use weather data to identify active fires, burned areas, land (other), and water in Australia?

# Identifying Wildfires: Geospatial Data and Machine Learning

Allison Lee

Blog Post

This project was created over the course of 2.5 weeks as part of the Flatiron School Data Science Fellowship in DC. This project is part of a longer-term goal to explore whether we can use machine learning approaches to predict the spread of wildfires.
