Fire spread simulations using Cell2Fire on synthetic and real landscapes

Minho Kim, Cristobal Pais, and Marta Gonzalez have just published a new article on Fire Spread Models in Scientific Reports.  Their research evaluates a  cellular automata-based Fire Spread Model, Cell2Fire, against benchmarking models from Canada, Chile and the U.S.    The articles develops two optimization techniques to improve the predictive ability of Cell2Fire and they demonstrate the model's effectiveness and computational efficiency in an anlysis of the 2001 Dogrib Fire in Alberta, Canada.
