FIRE SESSIONS
Objectives
The GOFC-GOLD-Fire Mapping and Monitoring Theme is aimed at refining and articulating the international observation requirements and making the best possible use of fire products from the existing and future satellite observing systems, for fire management, policy decision-making and global change research. GOFC-GOLD is promoting self-organized regional networks of data users, data brokers and providers, where closer linkages and collaborations are established with emphasis on an improved understanding of user requirements and product quality. GOFC-GOLD-Fire is pursuing, in a joint effort with the Committee on Earth Observing Satellites (CEOS) Working Group on Calibration and Validation (WGCV) Land Product Validation (LPV) subgroup, the coordinated validation of fire products by standardized protocols.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the current progress, recent developments and future prospects of satellite based fire monitoring and science for forest/natural resource management and other applications. This will be accomplished by reviewing recent progress in the various themes established by the GOFC-GOLD Fire IT and by discussing strategies towards specific objectives:
- Active fires and burnt area characterization from polar and geostationary satellite data;
- Calibration and validation of satellite fire products;
- Global geostationary network and fire products;
- Fire observations from new satellite instruments – algorithms and refinements;
- Fire radiative energy products from polar and geostationary data;
- Global fire early warning system;
- Fire management with focus on reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation activities;
- Satellite fire data outreach, dissemination and activities –requirements and challenges.
Fire Session Dates
Fire IT meeting will take place in conjunction with FORESTSAT 2016 meeting:

Forested Wetland Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation Session
Forested wetlands are some of the most important and valuable ecosystems and on the planet but their rapid and continued destruction threatens the provision of their essential ecosystem services. Mangrove forests, for example, help mitigate climate change impacts by lessening increased occurrences of floods and catastrophic hurricanes. However, coastal areas are among the most threatened and degraded ecosystems on earth. In addition to being home to numerous endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), forested peatlands play a critical role in climate change dynamics through significant carbon sequestration. Yet, some estimates attribute as much as 3 percent of the total global emission of carbon dioxide by human activity to the draining and burning of peat swamp forests. By assessing landscape and ecosystem dynamics across varying scales, remote sensing provides a beneficial and relevant tool in guiding researchers and managers in current and future efforts in management and conservation of forested wetland resources.
This session will focus on remote sensing of forested wetlands across the globe. Forested wetlands include intertidal forest wetlands such as mangrove swamps and tidal-freshwater swamp forests; freshwater, tree-dominated wetlands such as freshwater swamp forests, seasonally flooded forests, or wooded swamps on inorganic soils; and forested peatlands such as peatswamp forests. Presenters will address topics related to remote sensing of spatial, ecological, and temporal conditions of forested wetlands, classification of forested wetlands, forested wetland carbon dynamics, restoration, mitigation and conservation efforts of forest wetlands, and development of tools, techniques, and methodologies related to remote sensing of forested wetlands.
