Wildfire ecohydrology & predictive environmental modeling

Problem

I’m interested in how preceding environmental conditions relate to fire activity and ecosystem response across different regions.

Approach How I thought about it

• I’m developing questions about lagged environmental predictors, soil moisture and precipitation history, land-surface conditions, and cross-region generalization.
• Candidate methods include generalized additive models, random forests, gradient-boosted trees, temporal validation, and feature importance.

Results

• Planned

  Research direction and proposal development. Future analyses, findings, and manuscripts are not completed.

Tools

• Proposed: interpretable machine learning
• Proposed: time-series analysis
• Proposed: remote-sensing data integration
