This project compared and contrasted the utility and limitations of satellite-imagery and computer simulation modeling approaches to mapping fire effects and burn severity. The goal was to provide resource managers with tools to more effectively meet burned area rehabilitation objectives and manage fire on landscapes. Using satellite imagery analysis together with simulation modeling may improve burn severity mapping. The results of this study are being integrated into a comprehensive spatially explicit software analysis package for wildfire and prescribed fire management decision support. Contributing scientists are Robert Keane and Eva Karau.
