With climate change forest fires are becoming more common, causing ecological and economic loss. A forest fire site was assessed using both high-resolution LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), captured from a drone, and satellite optical imagery to appraise the potential of this approach for the future. The findings showed that UAV LiDAR data provided ecologically meaningful metrics which can be used to predict fire risk, develop more precise, site-specific fire impact studies and create post-fire management plans.
Establishing forest fire severity with UAV LiDAR
Wildfires don’t burn evenly through forests, some areas may be barely touched, whilst in other areas, most of the trees and foliage will be severely damaged. Understanding the severity and distribution of a fire within a forest can assist with estimating and modelling future forest fires to aid both prevention and containment.
Melbourne, located in the southeastern Australian state of Victoria, is a city of academic importance comparable to the likes of London, New York, and Paris. A powerhouse with a long history in the region is the University of Melbourne, a Tokyo Tech partner university.
Internationally renowned academic institution
The founding of the University of Melbourne dates back to 1853, half a century before the establishment of the federal government of Australia in 1901. It is the second oldest university in the country, and has been home to eight Nobel laureates more than any other Australian university. Alumni include numerous Australian prime ministers and other influential figures. Melbourne consistently ranks highly in world university rankings, and its secure, pleasant environment attracts many international students every year. In 2016, roughly 12,000 students from 130 countries were studying there, making up 26 percent of the student population.
