Title of the project
Wildfire severity and recovery patterns: a multi-temporal and spatial scale calibration and analysis based on remote sensing imagery
Aims of the project
The present project aims to study the wildfires disturbance, through the measure of fire severity index, by using remote sensing spectral indices. The methodological approach aims to improve the accuracy of spectral indices through:
• Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 imagery acquisition, pre-processing and comparison;
• evaluation of remote sensed fire severity index and field data validation and calibration;
• analysis of post-fire vegetation recovery patterns based on fire severity classification.
