🔥 Exploring Fire Scars with MapBiomas 🔍
Delving into the heart of environmental monitoring, we utilize Google Earth Engine to analyze fire scars and their evolution over time through the MapBiomas project.
🗺️ Mapping Regions of Interest:
Define regions of interest (ROI) using feature collections representing Northeastern states and biome borders.
Center the map view on the selected ROI for focused analysis.
🔍 Data Selection and Exploration:
Access MapBiomas fire datasets, including annual burned coverage, monthly burned coverage, fire frequency, and monitoring data.
Explore available bands and their properties to understand the dataset's structure and contents.
📅 Temporal Analysis:
Create image collections spanning from 1985 to 2020, extracting fire scar data for each year.
Filter and visualize specific years of interest, such as 1985 and 2020, to observe temporal trends in fire occurrence.
🌐 Insights and Applications:
Mapping fire scars over time provides crucial insights into ecosystem dynamics, land use changes, and fire management effectiveness.
Understanding fire patterns aids in developing proactive strategies for fire prevention, land conservation, and biodiversity preservation.

🌱 Understanding Cerrado's Fire Dynamics:
In addition to monitoring fire scars, it's crucial to address the unique fire dynamics of the Cerrado biome.
The Cerrado, with its vast savannas and grasslands, experiences frequent fire events, often as a result of agricultural practices and land clearance.
By studying fire patterns in the Cerrado, we gain insights into the region's ecological resilience and the impacts of human activities on its biodiversity.
