Artificial intelligence (AI) stock AISIX Solutions (TSXV:AISX) released a report identifying popular Canadian national parks at heightened risk of wildfires.
The report leverages historical conditions and projects future wildfire probabilities under Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) 1 and 5 climate change scenarios by 2050.
Top 10 national parks at risk
- Kootenay national park, British Columbia
- Mount Revelstoke national park, British Columbia
- Yoho national park, British Columbia
- Glacier national park, British Columbia
- La Mauricie national park, Québec
- Banff national park, Alberta
- Jasper national park, Alberta
- Waterton Lakes national park, Alberta
- Pacific Rim national park Reserve, British Columbia
- Kluane national park and Reserve, Yukon
AISIX’s analysis considers aggregated 30-year burn probabilities within the parks’ boundaries, utilizing advanced machine learning, physical-based modeling, and climate change projections. The company’s wildfire data workflow includes the application of Cell2Fire2, an advancement of BurnP3+, which simulates wildfire behavior at a national scale based on historical and projected climate patterns. The team also recently announced that it will release version 3.0 of its suite of wildfire prediction and risk management software on February 1st.
The report highlights long-term trends rather than year-to-year specific conditions, pinpointing burn probability hotspots in British Columbia (Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, Yoho, Pacific Rim, and Glacier), Québec (La Mauricie), Alberta (Banff, Jasper, and Waterton Lakes), and the Yukon (Kluane).
While the highest burn probabilities are concentrated in Western Canada, the report also points to significant wildfire risk in Eastern Canada. Specifically, La Mauricie national park in Québec is projected to experience the most substantial increase in wildfire probability by 2050 under the SSP5 scenario, followed by Jasper, Mount Revelstoke, Glacier, Yoho, Kootenay, Waterton Lakes, Kluane, and Pacific Rim.
AISIX’s Wildfire data can help identify high-risk areas based on historical wildfire behavior and providing insights into future wildfire patterns influenced by climate change. Understanding these changes is important, as evolving fire patterns mean that more locations, including those previously not prone to extreme fire behavior, are now at increased risk.
Leadership insights
“In this analysis by AISIX, we see increase burn probabilities mainly because of climate change, that makes fire seasons last longer with rising temperature and drier fuels,” climate risk scientist Dr. Gio Roberti said in a news release. “AISIX’s wildfire data offers novel insights into fire behavior, empowering users to understand current and future fire patterns”.
