Information about the severity of a fire on a landscape is critical to understanding the relationship between fuels, fire behaviour and landscapes.
In collaboration with the NSW Rural Fire Service, we've developed a semi-automated approach to mapping fire in New South Wales: fire extent and severity mapping. This approach uses satellite imagery and machine learning to deliver near real-time maps of fire severity.
