Completion Date: September 2014
The goal of this study was to better understand fire behavior and effects using remotely sensed data. This study had two components: First, we developed methods for generating spatially continuous fire progression maps using MODIS fire-detection satellite data. Second, we developed and evaluated a new satellite-inferred burn severity metric.
