PANEL DISCUSSION: CHALLENGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE MAPPING OF FIRE AND POST-FIRE EFFECTS

摘要: Scientists are tasked with seeing their science applied, and, in turn, managers rely on the objectiveness of scientists to make defensible decisions. and currently use remote sensing map, understand, predict ecological effects fire. Although much has been learned, challenges remain; there is an urgent need provide tools that can address challenging fire management issues. In order such data products, must understand needs expectations managers. To facilitate bridging this gap between application, we brought together expert panel both researchers discuss information recommendations for mapping active characteristics post-fire effects. This paper provides a summary discussion, which highlighted relating terminology, interpretation, availability, etc; suggested partnerships strategies these challenges. BACKGROUND Fire shaped by managers, who decisions regarding lives property real-world consequences. With recent focus accountability federal government, demonstrate tangible benefits research offer effectively have long worked closely together, communication, understanding, collaboration improve if they Remotely sensed important widely applied resource management. The size inaccessible nature many wildfires remotely essential detection assessment conditions before, during, after fires, addition providing means quantify patterns variation space time (Morgan et al. 2001). These then be used support timely cost efficient manner. Much learned; remain. Many funding agencies (e.g., National Science Foundation, Joint Sciences Program, etc.) require emphasize technology transfer obtain feedback products from audiences most likely apply science. end, share perceptions Mapping Active Characteristics Post-Fire Effects. foundation discussion was article entitled, “Remote Sensing Techniques Assess Post-fire Effects” (Lentile press). reviewed current potential methods assess behavior, effects, responses discussed future directions firerelated researcher’s perspective. circulated panellists,
