LandView™ Fire Simulation Analysis Dashboard: Advanced Visualization for Land Use and Fire Scenarios

The LandView™ Fire Simulation Analysis dashboard serves as a powerful resource for visualizing and analyzing integrated land use and fire scenarios. By harnessing the capabilities of high-performance computing, this innovative tool enables rapid transitions through various landscape fire scenarios, providing critical insights into fire dynamics.

Key Features of LandView™

• Integrated Land Use Scenarios: LandView™ facilitates the rapid assessment of alternative land-use proposals, demonstrating the intricate balance between ecological sustainability and economic development across Montana’s diverse landscapes.
• High-Performance Computing: Leveraging the resources of the Rocky Mountain Super Computing Centers (RMSC), a Montana-based high-performance computing public/private cloud node, GCS connected directly to RMSC to execute data-intensive analyses efficiently. This integration ensures that results are quickly accessible via a customized Esri ArcGIS Server application.
• Rapid Wildfire Modeling: The Wildfire Simulation dashboard utilizes the RMSC’s computing power for swift modeling of wildfire scenarios, coupled with Esri ArcGIS Server and Microsoft technologies to deliver dynamic analytical visualizations.
• Enhanced Decision Support: To foster meaningful discussions on public land use policy, RMSC and GCS have integrated existing fire simulation models, accessible land cover data, and GIS technology. This collaboration has led to the creation of an advanced visualization tool that aids decision-makers in evaluating land management strategies.

Conclusion

The LandView™ Fire Simulation Analysis dashboard is an essential tool for land use planners, ecologists, and policymakers. By providing an interactive platform for analyzing fire scenarios and land use impacts, it empowers stakeholders to make informed decisions that balance ecological health with economic growth.
