Automated Stand Delineation and Fire Fuels Mapping

Wildfires continue to put pressure on planning and mitigation efforts making the ability to map fire fuels and risks increasingly important. This project attempts to map areas on state, private, and other federal lands for this purpose and has focused on the development of advanced digital mapping methodologies to support fire fuels mapping. The fusion of advanced image classification techniques with high-resolution satellite data has proven to provide costeffective and accurate inventories of fire fuels and associated risks in the WUI.
