1. NASA’s Forest Heights Map NASA’s Forest Canopy Height mapis a first of its kind. It’s unique because it shows the height of trees on the entire planet. Now, NASA didn’t go out in the field and measure every tree height to make this forest map. So how did they do it? Al...
This is the first of its kind work on the assessment of forest burnt area and fire hotspots of Myanmar using Landsat OLI data and spatial statistics tool. Burnt area analysis indicates 15.2% of vegetation area was affected by fires in 2017. Analysis of burnt area at state level indicates ...

We selected sites in the Northwest Territories and northern Alberta (Wood Buffalo National Park), Canada, and sampled them one year post-fire, in 2015 (Fig. 1; Supplemental Table 1; Supplemental Note 1). The fires and the drivers of burn severity are described in detail in Whitman et al....

We used three state-of-the-art machine learning techniques (boosted regression tree, random forest, and support vector machine) to produce a multi-hazard (MHR) map illustrating areas susceptible to flooding, gully erosion, forest fires, and earthquakes i
In recent years, there has been growing interest in public valuation for forest ecosystem services in policymaking. This paper investigates the public’s perception of the Czech forest ecosystem services, i.e., provisioning, regulating and cultural services, with associated factors (changes in forest...
Burned area mapping is an essential step in the forest fire research to investigate the relationship between forest fire and climate change and the effect of forest fire on carbon budgets. This study proposed an algorithm to map forest fire burned area using the Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectror...
