Description

Robert Ziel, State of Alaska Fire Analyst shares information on how seasonal effects change the fuel moisture codes of CFFDRS and how remotely sensed data may help with interpretation for managers. This video was edited from his presentation at the October, 2014 Summit on CFFDRS held in Fairbanks, Alaska. Over 50 professional fire managers/scientists from the US and Canada were in attendance.
