The increasing frequency and intensity of mega-fires pose a significant threat globally. This session focuses on the application of remote sensing technologies for wildfire detection, monitoring, and characterization. We seek contributions that demonstrate the latest advancements in utilizing satellite and airborne sensors to detect wildfires, monitor the spread of wildfires, and evaluate fire intensity. Topics of interest include thermal anomaly detection, identification of false positives in fire detections, cross-comparison of fire detection and characterization across remote sensing and ground-based sensors, characterization of wildfire properties including rate of spread, fire radiative power and intensity.
