The field of wildfire forecasting and climate resilience is rapidly advancing, with a focus on improving predictive accuracy and uncertainty quantification. Recent research has highlighted the importance of incorporating spatial uncertainty and multimodal Earth observation inputs into wildfire spread forecasting models. Additionally, advancements in self-supervised deep learning and geostationary remote sensing are enhancing wildfire and air quality monitoring capabilities. Noteworthy papers in this area include: Spatial Uncertainty Quantification in Wildfire Forecasting for Climate-Resilient Emergency Planning, which demonstrates the use of a novel distance metric to identify high-uncertainty regions in wildfire forecasting. Harnessing Self-Supervised Deep Learning and Geostationary Remote Sensing for Advancing Wildfire and Associated Air Quality Monitoring, which showcases the efficacy of deep learning for mapping wildfire fronts and smoke plumes using GOES and TEMPO data.
