From the ground up, way up: measuring live fuel moisture with satellite imagery to fine-tune fire modeling in western ecosystems
Remote sensing from space may well become one of the world's most effective, accurate, and efficient ways to assess fire risk and thus manage large landscapes. The technology is evolving quickly, and researchers are busy keeping up. Some major…

Project fire scan: fire detection interim report, April 1962 to December 1964
The original program objectives were to develop and test a heat-sensitive system capable of: (1) locating small fires, (2) mapping fire perimeters, and (3) measuring rates of fire spread. The usefulness of infrared mappers was to be examined by…
