Today’s @ Spatial Hour talk featured Jiwon Baik, one of our Goodchild Fellowship recipients. She discussed her research in her talk “Spatiotemporal Multimodal Fusion for Wildfire Burned Area Prediction”🔥🔥🔥

Thanks to Mike and Fiona Goodchild for their continued support of our research and students!👏

Congrats to Lily Heidger for completing her Masters!👏🎉📚

Lily’s master’s research developed a new method to estimate pedestrian activity across entire cities using publicly available data, creating a framework cities can use to better plan for safer, more walkable communities.
