Wildfire Susceptibility Analysis (Topographic)

Topographic wildfire susceptibility analysis using slope, Heat Load Index (Bohner & Antonic 2009), TPI, TRI, inverse TWI, and elevation. Includes Rothermel fire spread factor. Note: vegetation, climate, and anthropogenic factors not included.

Inputs:

• Terrain Analysis Package (ZIP). ZIP file from Comprehensive Terrain Analysis containing DEM, slope, aspect, TWI, TPI, TRI, and manifest.json

• Weight: Slope. Weight for the slope indicator (default: 0.25)

• Weight: Heat Load Index. Weight for the Heat Load Index indicator (default: 0.25)

• Weight: TPI. Weight for the Topographic Position Index (default: 0.15)

• Weight: TRI. Weight for the Terrain Ruggedness Index (default: 0.10)

• Weight: TWI (inverted). Weight for the inverted TWI indicator (default: 0.15)

• Weight: Elevation. Weight for the elevation indicator (default: 0.10)

• Hotspot Threshold. WTI value above which areas are classified as hotspots (default: 70)

• Spectral Indices Package (ZIP). Optional ZIP from spectral_indices with vegetation index aggregates. When provided, a vegetation indicator is added to the weighted overlay.

• Weight: Vegetation Index. Weight for the vegetation index indicator (default: 0.10). Only used when spectral_zip is provided. Other weights are scaled down proportionally.

Outputs:

• Wildfire Analysis Package (ZIP). ZIP archive with wildfire susceptibility rasters, vectors, statistics, and manifest

• Summary. Human-readable summary of the wildfire analysis results

• Manifest JSON. JSON manifest string describing all outputs
