This paper presents a new algorithm that synergistically combines data from three different parts of the spectrum (near-, shortwave- and thermalinfrared) to produce reliable burned area maps. It is based on the use of a variation of the BAIM (Burned Area ... see more

This paper presents an example of potential uses of remote sensing (RS) data to provide operational information for natural hazards management. It shows how RS was used to provide update information to evaluate the impacts of a large sequence of forest fi... see more

The present work is directed to the analysis of the variation of the spectral response shown in burnt areas of different South-America regions. The obtaining of the spectral information has been done using MODIS images (MCD43), within burnt area perimeter... see more

Vegetation is one of the components of the ecosystems more affected by the fire and its destruction is, indeed, the most immediate and visible of its effects. In the same way, vegetal regeneration processes are a clear sign of the ecosystems recovery. The... see more

The role played by direct regeneration in early post-fire years is well known in mediterranean plant communities. However, the effect of wildfires on medium and long-term vegetation dynamics needs a better understanding. Spatial and temporal post-fire veg... see more

The impact and the evolution of the structure of the landscape in a forest fire of the PrePyrenees of Aragón using a set of 6 Landsat 5 TM images is analyzed, identifying the relationships between the space heterogeneity values and the vegetation types. N... see more
