Geospatial Assessment and Application of Burn Severity Data training webinar
When: April 2-4, 2013
BAER session - Tues., April 2 9am to noon MDT
RAVG session - Wed., April 3 9am to noon MDT
MTBS session - Thurs., April 4 9am to noon MDT

Download Course Materials: BurnSevTraining.zip
Topics Covered: An overview, discussion and geospatial training for three post-fire mapping programs:
- BAER (Burned Area Emergency Response) Imagery Support
- RAVG (Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire)
- MTBS (Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity)
The objective of this training is to provide participants with a greater understanding of the available geospatial data for characterizing fire effects. In the session specific to each fire mapping program, we will provide detail describing mapping methods and techniques, how to edit and improve the data for use in your local landscape, and suggest ways these data could be applied. During each session we provide hands-on GIS exercise(s) as examples of how to apply burn severity data to address specific user needs, integrate and analyze these data with local GIS map layers, and how this information can support management decisions.
You may participate in any or all sessions based on the specific training that is most applicable to your type of work or interest.
Computer Requirements and Expectations: During the GIS portion of the trainings, participants will use their own computer to complete hand-on GIS exercises designed specifically for use with burn severity products associated with that specific session. We will provide the exercise and associated spatial datasets required to complete the exercises. It is expected that participants have introductory level experience using ArcGIS software and navigating in a Windows environment. All GIS exercises are written for ArcGIS version 10. You will need the Spatial Analyst extension, Google Earth and decompression software to unzip the training data directories.
