Introduction to automated wildfire delineation

View webinar recording (42:19).

With Jerry Tagestad, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Hosted by the Alaska Fire Science Consortium.

Working with NIFC and US Forest Service, PNNL has developed an automated fire line mapping system for the entire US. The system uses satellite imagery to map heat perimeter, intense heat, and spot fires. The fire line GIS data will be made available in the NIFC EGP system starting spring of 2025. This webinar will walk through the automated system for creating individual polygons and how these GIS data are published to EGP for access. We will also discuss the need for feedback to improve the accuracy of the resultant products.
