SJSU researchers use artificial intelligence to link rising temperatures to wildfire behavior

Researchers at San Jose State University say they used artificial intelligence in a recently published study to determine the link between rising temperatures due to climate change and the day-to-day behavior of wildfires in California.

The study, published Aug. 30 in the journal Nature, departs from earlier research on California wildfires that examined the impact of climate change on broad measures of fire activity, such as the total area burned across large regions and entire years.
