Forest fires are one of the major causes of ecological disturbance and environmental
concerns in tropical deciduous forests of south India. In this study, we use fuzzy set theory …

Gridding artifacts between observations and predefined grid cells strongly influence the
local spatial properties of MODIS images. The sensor observation in any grid cell is only …

Drought monitoring is important to analyse the influence of rainfall deficiency patterns on
bushfire behaviour. Remote sensing provides tools for spatially explicit monitoring of …

Fire is one of the main causes of environmental and ecosystem change. Geospatial data,
