TERN eNewsletter: Characterising fire in northern Australia

Url: 
http://www.tern.org.au/Newsletter-2012-Nov-CharacterisingFireNorth-pg24306.html
Using AusCover’s data infrastructure, a new research project is helping to improve understanding of the environmental variables that drive fire in northern Australia. The project will MODIS satellite imagery to determine fire radiative power, then examine the relationships between the intensity of fires and major environmental variables, such as seasonality, temperature, relative humidity and wind.

A new fire-severity product, which was developed in collaboration with the Bushfire CRC, combines AusCover's remote-sensing data and satellite imagery from MODIS with extensisve field data from the Bushfire CRC. The product will provide information about fires by describing their effect on vegetation. (November, 2012)

TERN eNewsletter: Savanna burning to save carbon emissions

Url: 
http://www.tern.org.au/Newsletter-2012-Nov-SavannaCarbonEmissions-pg24310.html
The first savanna-burning project was approved early this month under the federal government’s Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI). It is estimated that the project could generate up to 20,000 Australian carbon credit units each year. In order to determine the precise number of credits, satellite imagery of the region is used by AusCover to determine fire area and intensity of fires. (November, 2012)
