Wildfires in Spain \u2013 Data Pipeline & Web Map<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wildfires are a growing environmental concern in Southern Europe. In this project, I explored open wildfire data for Spain, cleaned and transformed it with FME, and published an interactive Leaflet map. The goal was to demonstrate a lightweight geospatial data pipeline \u2013 from raw shapefiles to a live web map \u2013 that could be reused for other datasets as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This demo project shows how open geospatial data can be transformed into an interactive web map through a lightweight ETL pipeline. Starting from raw Copernicus wildfire polygons, I filtered, validated, and simplified the dataset in FME, then exported it as GeoJSON. Finally, I built and embedded a Leaflet map into WordPress, making the results accessible online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workflow highlights practical skills in spatial data cleaning, automation, and web publishing \u2013 a reusable approach that can be applied to many other geospatial datasets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
