Mapping burned area in Alaska using MODIS data: a data limitations-driven modification to the regional burned area algorithm

With the recently observed and projected trends of growing wildland fire occurrence in high northern latitudes, satellite-based burned area mapping in these regions is becoming increasingly important for scientific and fire management communities. Coarseand moderate-resolution remotely sensed data products are the only viable source of comprehensive and timely estimates of burned area in remote...

An Algorithm for Burned Area Detection in the Brazilian Cerrado Using 4 µm MODIS Imagery

The Brazilian Cerrado is significantly affected by anthropic fires every year, which makes the region an important source of pyrogenic emissions. This study aims at generating improved 1 km monthly burned area maps for Cerrado based on remote-sensed information. The algorithm relies on a burn-sensitive vegetation index based on MODIS daily values of near and middle infrared reflectance and make...

Burned land mapping using NOAA-AVHRR and TERRA-MODIS

Spatial and temporal analysis of MODIS and AVHRR images have been carried out to discriminate burned areas from other land covers. Spatial and temporal analysis were performed based on statistical separability and temporal changes. The objective of these analysis was to find out the most sensitive bands for burned land mapping in order to design spectral indices better adapted to the discrimina...
