Big Data Helps California Resist Wildfire Spread

California is currently faced with a rare dry season, and it is the most serious in modern times. The lack of precipitation in the area not only hinders the agricultural industry in California, but also makes forests flammable. But researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have proposed a potential solution that will connect all the trees to the Internet.


Forest fires often occur in California. Under normal circumstances, they play a vital role in maintaining the forest environment. They clean up dead plants and trees with fire and release the nutrients absorbed by the plants to feed the earth. However, due to the rapidly warming environment and the vicious drought, the frequency and destructiveness of wildfires have increased dramatically in recent years.
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, in collaboration with a research team from the University of Maryland, developed the $ 2.6 million WIFIRE system to monitor the state of the forest, predict possible fires, alert officials and mitigate the damage caused by wildfires.
The WIFIRE system uses local combined sensor data catalogs and satellite imagery analysis to generate dynamic, real-time wild-fire modelling through UCSD's supercomputing center. WIFIRE's first operational trial will begin in January 2015 and the defense network will cover the entire state of California.
