### Meeting Agenda

#### 1. Topic Change Discussion

The group agreed to adopt a new research topic proposed by Vahab:
**"Prescribed Fire Planning to Prevent Wildfires in Canada using Satellite
Images."** _(Thunderstorms are the biggest reason for wildfires in North America.)_

#### 2. Key Concerns and Considerations

- The group acknowledged the importance of clearly defining the scope
and ensuring the topic has real-world relevance.
- Alona pointed out that the new topic lacks a strong **social impact**
compared to those discussed in lecture slides.
- She also noted the absence of an “**x maps to y**” correlation present in
previous topics.
- The group emphasized the need for **concise data collection**.
- There was consensus to **limit the geographical scope to Canada** (for now)
to keep the project focused and manageable.

#### 3. Refining the Research Question

Proposed refined versions of the research question:

- _How does the integration of satellite imagery improve the outcomes of
prescribed burning programs in mitigating wildfire risk in Canada?_
- _How effective are prescribed forest fires by satellite images in reducing
the risk of out-of-control wildfires in Canada?_

#### 4. Immediate Action Items

- The new topic will be discussed with **Evan on Slack** to confirm
its acceptability.
- **Asia** identified similar research projects and GitHub repositories for
insight and inspiration.
- Ongoing discussion around the **specific data types** needed for the project.

#### 5. Task Assignments

- **Vahab** will refine the group README and submit a pull
request with the updated content.
- **Alona** will create a format for group member retrospectives
and begin coordinating task assignments for upcoming deadlines.

## 6. Next Meeting

- **Date:** June 29, 2025
- **Time:** 1:00 PM EST
- **Agenda:** Team members will report on progress and discuss feedback from Evan.
