Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up
to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire …

Wildland fires dramatically affect forest ecosystems, altering the loss of their biodiversity and
their sustainability. In addition, they have a strong impact on the global carbon balance and …

Fundamentals of Satellite Remote Sensing: An Environmental Approach, Third Edition, is a
definitive guide to remote sensing systems that focuses on satellite-based remote sensing …

Abrupt forest disturbances generating gaps> 0.001 km2 impact roughly 0.4–0.7 million km2

Here we integrate spatial information on annual burnt area, fire frequency, fire seasonality,
fire radiative power and fire size distributions to produce an integrated picture of fire regimes …

Forest fires are one of the major causes of ecological disturbance and environmental
concerns in tropical deciduous forests of south India. In this study, we use fuzzy set theory …

Until the 1970s, disaster risk was perceived as a direct consequence of natural hazards.
Gradually, disaster risk has come to be understood as a compound event, which lies at the …

Tremendous advances in the construction and assessment of forest attribute maps and
related spatial products have been realized in recent years, partly as a result of the use of …

Forest fires constitute one of the most serious environmental problems in several forested
regions of India. In the Indian sub-continent, relatively few studies have focused on the …
