spread-vs-growth

This project supports figures, animations, and longer-running analyses for comparing wildfire spread rate and growth rate.

View Storyboard Figure Workflow

  • Spread

Motion through space: fronts, diffusion, advection, and local rate of advance.

  • Growth

Expansion of area, exchange surface, transport networks, and emergent form.

  • Figures

Reproducible static figures, animation frames, and talk-ready rendered outputs.

Current focus

The first target is the ESA 2026 Fire Metabolism storyboard: explain why extreme wildfire may require growth-rate thinking in addition to spread-rate thinking.
