Imaging spectroscopy for wildfire applications

Wildfire is one of the most ubiquitous terrestrial ecosystem disturbances. Imaging spectroscopy has been applied to all phases of wildfire: measuring pre-fire fuel type and fuel moisture, retrieval of fire temperature and fractional area, and monitoring post-fire recovery. This Ignite talk will cover the key advances in wildfire applications of hyperspectral data over the last decade, and describe major goals for future research in this field.
