Scientists and managers alike need timely, cost-effective, and
technically appropriate fire-related information to develop
functional strategies for the diverse fire communities. Remote
Sensing and Modeling Applications to Wildland Fires addresses
wildtand fire management needs by presenting discussions that link
ecology and the physical sciences from local to regional levels,
views on integrated decision support data for policy and decision
makers, new technologies and techniques, and future challenges and
how remote sensing might help to address them. While creating
awareness of wildland fire management and rehabilitation issues,
hands-on experience in applying remote sensing and simulation
modeling is also shared.This book will be a useful reference work
for researchers, practitioners andgraduate students in the fields
of fire science, remote sensing and modeling applications.
