Urban wildfire resilience depends on how built form, vegetation condition, and extreme fire weather interact. Thus far, city-scale decision tools often combine spatial data without testing whether their apparent predictive skill persists when evaluated in spatially separated settings. We developed a spatially validated...

Timely urban-canopy information is essential for linking remote sensing with heat, mobility, and neighborhood planning. We developed an optical GeoAI workflow for Davis, California, using 2022 National Agriculture Imagery Program imagery (0.6 m RGB+NIR). DeepForest generated crown candidates; an NDVI threshold, non-max...
Accurate prediction of post-fire snow conditions does not necessarily establish how wildfire changed those conditions. We developed an explainable geospatial artificial intelligence framework combining multisource Earth observations, meteorological information, and matched before-after comparisons to examine seasonal s...
Working agricultural landscapes are often treated as background to wildfire disasters, even though they are managed fuel mosaics, productive assets, and parts of regional infrastructure systems. We examine vineyard wildfire resilience during the electrically initiated 2019 Kincade Fire in Sonoma County, California, usi...

Urban wildfire resilience depends on interactions among built form, vegetation condition, and extreme fire weather, yet city-scale risk models often overlook whether predictive skill transfers across neighborhoods. We developed a spatially validated GeoAI workflow for the January 2025 Palisades Fire, linking 12,081 CAL...
This article describes an open image dataset for developing and evaluating active-fire segmentation methods in satellite imagery. The dataset contains 2,148 image-mask pairs from 25 California wildfires, with acquisitions spanning July 2020 to August 2026. Each image is a 512x512-pixel, three-channel composite derived...
