burn_viz: Visualizing Wildfire Across Time & Space

burn_viz is a web application that allows users to visualize relationships between wildfire occurrence, the location of human populations, and different landcover types. Understanding these relationships is crucial for risk assessment and policymaking, but it can be challenging to navigate data from disparate sources that may be provided in different formats and spatial resolutions. Integrating these elements into a interactive visualization creates an opportunity to explore how wildfire, population, and landcover interact over space and time.

The web application is accessible at https://reedhum.shinyapps.io/burn_viz/ or can be deployed locally using the R code and data files published here.
