Big Data: The Path Toward Wildfire Resilience

Increasingly frequent and intense wildfires in California and the
western US are impacting communities across the state. Even areas
not prone to fires suffer from degraded air and water quality –
direct consequences of these extreme events. ALERTCalifornia
combines a state-wide fire camera network with state-of-the-art
sensor technology to support data-driven decision making before,
during, and after wildfires. Join Dr. Neal Driscoll as he describes
the scientific and technological expertise at UCSD that is being
brought to bear on making California more resilient to climate
change.  Series: "Jeffrey B. Graham Perspectives on Ocean
