Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Remote Sensing & Mapping
Working definition
Measurement or observation of a target without direct physical contact, commonly using satellite or airborne sensors to characterize wildfire activity and effects.
In plain language
Measurement or observation of a target without direct physical contact, commonly using satellite or airborne sensors to characterize wildfire activity and effects.
Why it matters
Remote Sensing is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
