1. Sentinel: Dynamic Fire Location Mapping

2. Near- Real Time Emergency Mapping Environmental Remote Sensing Group CSIRO Land and Water Defence Imagery & Geospatial Organisation ‘Sentinel’ Satellite Mapping of Fire Hotspots

3. Collaborators  Funding Defence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO)  Imagery Geoscience Australia (GA)  Implementation CSIRO Using NASA and University of Maryland algorithms Based on GeoMAC fire site hosted by the USGS.

4. DIGO’s needs § Support Defence personnel deployed in civil emergencies § Continental solution § Identified MODIS data as a possible solution

5. Key Requirements  All Australia Hotspot Mapping by December 2002  Satellite to Website in One hour.  MODIS sensor selected  for it’s dynamic range  it’s revisit frequency  Terra and Aqua platforms

6. Key Requirements  Background imagery  for context  underneath the ‘hotspots’  by 6 am AEST (18:00 UTC).  Maps with fire locations delivered as  electronic graphic images  (web map interface)  faxable B/W map products  email data distribution.

20. Web Maps are Dynamic. Fire Locations are displayed in relation to other Geographic data Maps are rendered and displayed on according to user interaction Contextual layers can be added or removed. Maps can be panned and zoomed. Maps Layers are scale sensitive providing more information at large scales without cluttering the display at small scales.
