Marj Tonini

Marj is a spatial data scientist with a strong interest in geospatial modelling for risk assessment. Currently she is science officer of the EGU sub-session NH7: Wildfire Hazards. She is senior researcher at the Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics, Faculty of Geosciences and Environment, Lausanne University (Switzerland) and in 2022 she was conferred “privat-docent” and named Director of the Swiss Geocomputing Centre (https://wp.unil.ch/geocomputing/). Her research focuses on the development of innovative approaches allowing to enable efficient learning from complex environmental datasets. Her main research target is the elaboration of predictive scenario and susceptibility / risk assessment of wildfires.

Unravelling the Complex Drivers of Wildfires in the Era of Climate Change

Joana Parente and Marj Tonini February 27, 2023

In the last decades, the strength of climate change has been evident across the globe in many weather and climate extremes occurrences, including heatwaves and droughts. Those events are involved in all fire stages and influence all aspects of the fire regime [1]. Climate change is driving unprecedented wildfire in the Mediterranean region The …[Read More]
