Changes in climate, land use, and land management impact the occurrence and severity of
wildland fires in many parts of the world. This is particularly evident in Europe, where …

Aim This paper presents a new global burned area (BA) product developed within the
framework of the European Space Agency's Climate Change Initiative (CCI) programme, along …

Aim In any region affected, fires exhibit a strong seasonal cycle driven by the dynamic of fuel
moisture and ignition sources throughout the year. In this paper we investigate the global …

Global fire monitoring systems are crucial to study fire behaviour, fire regimes and their impact
at the global scale. Although global fire products based on the use of Earth Observation …

We explore the large spatial variation in the relationship between population density and
burned area, using continental-scale Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) based on …

We used the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) active fire data (375 m spatial
resolution) to automatically extract multispectral samples and train a One-Class Support …

This paper presents a review of concepts related to wildfire risk assessment, including the
determination of fire ignition and propagation (fire danger), the extent to which fire may …

Some authors argue that deforestation in Africa is one of the highest among the world’s
continents. However, for several regions, historical data and observations obtained by remote …

In Portugal and Spain, fire regimes have been significantly altered due to changes in
anthropogenic and climatic factors. The development of a fire management strategy should take …

Climate and natural vegetation dynamics are key drivers of global vegetation fire, but
anthropogenic burning now prevails over vast areas of the planet. Fire regime classification and …
