7th EARSeL workshop on advances in RS and GIS applications in forest fire management
Since the main subject of the workshop will be the Space operational use of remote sensing in forest fire management paper contributions are expected to focus on the operational use of remote sensing in:
- pre-fire planning and management;
- fire detection and monitoring;
- post-fire evaluation and management;
- post-fire vegetation recovery assessment.
The main activities of the Workshop will include lectures given by invited speakers, poster sessions, a round-table discussion session and a field excursion. Selected papers presented during the workshop will be included in a special issue of a scientific journal related to forest fires and remote sensing. Previous workshops resulted in the publication of special issues of the International Journal of Remote Sensing, the Remote Sensing of Environment, Journal of Geophysical Research, and the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing. Full texts of the lectures given and the extended abstracts of papers presented will be included in the Proceedings book of the workshop.
