The objective of this webinar is to provide participants with a greater understanding of the MTBS project and the available geospatial data for characterizing fire effects.  This training will provide an overview of the MTBS project, fire mapping and assessment protocols, available data products, and how to obtain data and utilize the project website.  There will also be an instructor-led GIS demonstration of how to integrate and analyze MTBS data with local GIS map layers and how this information can support management decisions.  Participants will be provided sample data and instructions to accompany the demonstration and can either follow along with the instructor during the demonstration or complete the GIS exercise on their own at the end of the webinar. ArcGIS 10.x and the Spatial Analyst extension are required for the exercise.

Space is limited so please do not register for this course unless you are confident you will be able to attend.  Note: if you don’t have access to the Forest Service Intranet, the registration links will not work. Please email Jennifer Lecker. Due to space limitations USDA personnel will be given priority.
