In this tutorial, we will show you how to model wildfire events using the r.ros and r.spread modules of GRASS GIS. We will perform fire simulations in three areas in the Yosemite National Park , California USA during the summer season in 2020 (from 2020-06-20 through 2020-09-22).
We assume you have a running installation of GRASS GIS and Anaconda including the latest version of Jupyter Notebook on Ubuntu 20.04. You also need an active Google Earth Engine (GEE) account.
Use the following commands to create a conda environment, activate it, and install packages required for this tutorial.
conda create -n grass_env python=3
conda activate grass_env
conda install wxpython
conda install numpy
You also need to install Geopandas, GEE Python API, eeconvert, geemap packages. In the list below I provide you some links that explain how to install them.
- Geopandas: https://geopandas.org/getting_started/install.html
- GEE Python API: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/guides/python_install
- eeconvert: https://github.com/gee-community/eeconvert/blob/master/README.md
- geemap: https://geemap.org/installation/
Once activated the environment and installed all packages, clone this repository and move inside the directory of wildfire_modeling tutorial and enter jupyter notebook command.
Enjoy the tutorial!!
