Dryads Project

Overview:
Dryads is an AI-powered platform to manage forest resilience and mitigate climate change impacts. Addressing Greece's wildfire risks, it uses continuous multimodal sensing to extract microclimate profiles, identify anthropogenic risk factors and sources of high environmental risk to enable early wildfire detection, evolution forecasting and assessment. Dryads provides AI-driven evacuation plans by identifying affected civilians in the area and providing safe route navigation. Dryads also supports risk prevention and vulnerability management for forests and peri-urban areas.

Who we are:
The Dryads platform is developed by the SCAN Laboratory (https://scan.di.uoa.gr/) located at the Department of Informatics and Telecommunications of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. This project is supported by the ICLEI Europe and Google.org.
