General list of todo items to get a paper that I can hand to Dr. Sheppard as a starting point.

Misc Notes

Collection of misc notes to make sure end up in the paper

  • GIS is a fundamental in a lot of these workflows
  • Forest management uses a wide range of objectives (timber, protection/recreation, climate)
  • Should fire spread and fire danger rating be two different things? ref
  • Many of the sources point that a simplier, easier to understand metric is better than an overly complex one.

Lessons to learn

  • There is a different solution to every locale. It is not going to be a one-size fits all kinda problem.
  • connection to natural hazard literature
  • risk perception gap
  • a lot of recent emphasis on climate change. As the climate changes, the domain we are learning is shifting. How can we account for this shift in our models?
  • a Bernoulli calcuated from a history is not a probabilistic model. It is a statistical history.
