Understanding fire in the Australian landscape

 

This special webinar was developed to explore the very topical issue of fire in the Australian landscape. It looks at how earth observation and remote sensing can be used to understand fire severity and extent, and EO and remote sensing's important role in fire management.

Host: Dr Andrew Edwards, Centre for Bushfire Research, Flinders University.

Presenters:

  • Dr Andrew Edwards

    • introduction and data sets available for research.

  • Dr Marta Yebra, Australian National University

    • Remote Sensing Contributions to Bushfire Science and Management.

  • Phil McKenna, University of Queensland (UQ)

    • Planet, Drone and dNDVI/dNBR Fire Severity Mapping.

  • Dr Leo Hardtke, Qld Department of Environment and Science & UQ

    • Operational Fire Extent Mapping with Sentinel-2.

Accessing and Using the Copernicus Australasia Data Hub

Accessing and Using the Copernicus Australasia Data Hub

Accessing and using the Copernicus Australasia data hub: a presentation by Frontier SI.

The Copernicus Australasia Regional Data Hub is an amazing resource for anyone needing Sentinel satellite data for Australasia, the South Pacific or Australia’s Antarctic Territory. Its open, fast, trusted and reliable satellite data can be accessed without cost.

This presentation by Earth Observation Australia in partnership with FrontierSI and on behalf of Geoscience Australia details multiple ways to access and download data from the hub, including:

  • Sentinel Australasia Regional Access (SARA) map-based GUISARA python API for advanced users

  • NCI’s THREDDS server

  • or directly through the NCI’s file system for registered NCI users.

Presented by Peter Scarth
Joint Remote Sensing Research Program

Thursday, 21 July, 2016

Abstract

This webinar will give several examples using direct access using opendap on thredds and gdal/rasterio on thredds and http where you'll be able to query and directly interact with Landsat, MODIS and Himawari datasets in both iPython notebooks and in GIS packages. By the end of the webinar, you’ll be able to discover some of the many data sets openly available on the NCI and query them using web services.
