Wildfire remote sensing has been recognized for its capacity to detect wildfires (e.g., [21]). However, there is a significant gap between what is required for “early” detection (e.g., identifying small sub-canopy wildfires) for wildfires that require suppression and what can be ...
As flooding, wildfires and extreme temperatures occur with greater frequency, 82% of Canadian consumers (85% globally) are noticing climate-related disruptions in their day-to-day lives. And 80% (85% globally) worry about climate change to some degree. This represents an important opportunity to...
