Additional Information
| Agency Name: | Geological Survey |
| Description: | Developing reliable fire fuels estimates in arid ecosystems is challenging due to the transient and short lived nature of winter annual vegetation. Improved monitoring and mapping of winter annuals will be of benefit to the public by reducing uncertainties in our evaluation of fire danger in arid ecosystems. A remote sensing approach using high temporal resolution satellite data and geographic information systems (GIS) technology will be required to provide ongoing monitoring information. |
