This paper describes an ongoing investigation of Canadian boreal forest fires conducted using coarse resolution satellite imagery. Algorithms were developed to detect active fires (hotspots) and subsequently map burned areas, which employ single NOAA-AVHRR images and 10-day AVHRR Normalized Difference ...
She said lightning-caused fires are much rarer here than in Western and Northern Canada, and any fires that do start on P.E.I. tend to be stemmed by the "very highly fragmented landscape here — lots of fields, lots of roads, lots of natural...
