Historical background and current developments for mapping burned area from satellite Earth observation
Open accessAbstract
Fire has a diverse range of impacts on Earth's physical and social systems. Accurate and up to date information on areas affected by fire is critical to better understand drivers of fire activity, as well as its relevance for biogeochemical cycles, climate, air quality, and to aid fire management. Mapping burned areas was traditionally done from field sketches. With the launch of the first Earth observation satellites, remote sensing quickly became a more practical alternative to detect burned areas, as they provide timely regional and global coverage of fire occurrence. This review paper explores the physical basis to detect burned area from satellite observations, describes the historical trends of using satellite sensors to monitor burned areas, summarizes the most recent approaches to map burned areas and evaluates the existing burned area products (both at global and regional scales). Finally, it identifies potential future opportunities to further improve burned area detection from Earth observation satellites.

“…indicate a decrease in fire-af-fected areas due to agricultural expansion in regions with low tree cover (Andela et al., 2017), the impacts of fire in forested and even tundra regions are expected to increase in the future due to climate and societal changes (Jolly et al., 2015; Roos et al., 2016).”

“In GFED version 2, fire emissions estimates relied on BA time series that were established by calibrating HS to the first and, at that time, only regionally available direct BA maps from the MODIS sensor (Giglio et al., 2006; van der Werf et al., 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
