Satellite Observations and Tools for Fire Risk, Detection, and Analysis (Online Webinar Series)
- Start Date:
- May 11, 2021
- End Date:
- April 27, 2021
- Description:
- Remote sensing can be used to monitor pre-, during-, and post-fire conditions; including weather and climate conditions, fuel characterization, fire risk, smoke detection, monitoring, and forecasting, fire behavior, and the post-fire landscape. This 6-part, intermediate training will provide lectures and case studies focused on the use of Earth observations for operational fire monitoring: pre-, during-, and post-event.
- Targeted Audience:
- This training is primarily intended for local, regional, state, federal, and international organizations involved in resource and ecosystem management, health and air quality, disaster risk management, disaster response, and those with an interest in applying remote sensing to fire science.
- Expected Outcomes:
- By the end of this training attendees will understand: • Terminology regarding type and components of fire (pre, during, post) • Climatic and biophysical conditions pre-, during-, and post-fire • The satellites and instruments used in conducting fire science • The applications of passive and active remote sensing for fires • How to visualize fire emissions and particulate matter • The use of tools for active fires, emissions, and burned areas • How to acquire data for conducting analysis in a given study area
