FireGraphNet: Sub-daily wildfire spread prediction with directed graph neural networks

Aiyshwariya Paulvannan Kanmani, Miguel Esparza, Ali Mostafavi

Wildfire decisions are made in hours, yet most learned spread models predict daily on targets including burned area. We propose FireGraphNet which formulates 12-hour growth as node…

Modular Deep Learning Mechanisms for Auditable Next-Day Wildfire Spread Prediction

Miguel Esparza, Aydin Ayanzadeh, Aydin Ayanzadeh Ahmad Mousavi +2

Next-day wildfire prediction requires models whose forecasts can be evaluated alongside the assumptions and historical evidence used in their computation. Although deep learning ca…

Beyond Backscatter: AlphaEarth Land-Cover Priors for Rapid SAR Flood Segmentation Across Foundation Backbones

Sanjay Thasma, Yu-Hsuan Ho, Ali Mostafavi

Rapid flood mapping is critical for emergency response, yet optical imagery is often unusable during major flooding and single-temporal SAR is ambiguous, since new inundation, perm…

Damage-TriageFormer: A Foundation-Model Framework for Typology-Based Building Damage Assessment from Mono-Temporal Imagery

Yiming Xiao, Yu-Hsuan Ho, Sanjay Thasma +2

Decision-relevant building damage assessment is critical for prioritizing resources and recovery after a disaster, yet most automated methods either flatten damage into a single se…

Data-efficient flood depth prediction through domain-aware coreset selection and tabular foundation models

Lipai Huang, Adithi Srinath, Manas Singh +2

Near-real-time flood depth prediction demands surrogate models that are accurate, fast, and transferable across watersheds. Supervised surrogates can match physics-based simulators…

Recov-Vision: Linking Street View Imagery and Vision-Language Models for Post-Disaster Recovery

Yiming Xiao, Archit Gupta, Miguel Esparza +5

Building-level occupancy after disasters is vital for triage, inspections, utility re-energization, and equitable resource allocation. Overhead imagery provides rapid coverage but…

Flood-DamageSense: Multimodal Mamba with Multitask Learning for Building Flood Damage Assessment using SAR Remote Sensing Imagery

Yu-Hsuan Ho, Ali Mostafavi

Most post-disaster damage classifiers succeed only when destructive forces leave clear spectral or structural signatures -- conditions rarely present after inundation. Consequently…

High-Resolution Flood Probability Mapping Using Generative Machine Learning with Large-Scale Synthetic Precipitation and Inundation Data

Lipai Huang, Federico Antolini, Ali Mostafavi +3

High-resolution flood probability maps are instrumental for assessing flood risk but are often limited by the availability of historical data. Additionally, producing simulated dat…
