The BCFireCube, Harmonized Spatial Data for Wildfire Research in British Columbia
Listed in Borealis
We introduce the BCFireCube, a harmonized datacube compiled to support wildfire research in British Columbia.
Description
Previous works have produced vital spatial data describing British Columbia's wildfires, ecology, geography, and social development. However, inconsistent data formatting, limited resource availability, and poor data interoperability hinder research.
The BCFireCube addresses this barrier by modifying and harmonizing spatial data produced by the Government of British Columbia, Natural Resources Canada, and Statistics Canada. We provide spatial, ecological, and social data about wildfires from 1917 to 2025, in addition to 21 congruent raster layers and 3 vector files which contextualize British Columbia's wildfire regime. The BCFireCube has a wide range of potential applications in wildfire science, wildfire economics, political ecology, and environmental risk modelling.
