Published purpose

The objective of this Project is to adapt methods of mapping water extent for use in Google Earth Engine imagery and apply to pilot project study areas, assemble a database of spatio-temporal trends in surface water prior to peat fires and in similar non-burned peatlands, and to test time series analysis methods for their ability to determine the temporal conditions in surface water that occurs before peat fires, and link this to risk of fire.
