Published purpose
The objective of this project is to build on the results of the pilot project by investigating a larger number of fires and longer time series. The Proponent will additionally incorporate trends in vegetation conditions (i.e., phenology) through multi-spectral imagery and investigate machine-learning techniques for prediction of fire susceptibility. It is expected that a methodology to use space-based remote sensing will be operationalized that enables the near-real time monitoring of conditions in peatlands and prediction of susceptibility to wildfire, enabling fire management agencies to identify severe conditions sooner, enhancing the safety and security of Canadians.
