The Alaska Fire Science Consortium (AFSC) announces a call for abstracts
for an international workshop entitled "Opportunities to Apply Remote
Sensing in Boreal/Arctic Wildfire Management and Science." The workshop
will convene 4-6 April 2017 at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, in
Fairbanks, Alaska.
The workshop is organized with support from the NASA Applied Sciences
Program. The objectives are to advance remote sensing tools and data for
operational and scientific applications by high northern latitude fire
ecology and management communities. Participants will include
interagency fire managers as well as scientists with an interest in
remote sensing and a variety of disciplines.
Topics of interest include: potential fire risk, near real-time fire
behavior, and post-fire effects. With sufficient interest, NASA's
Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) project and/or Short-term
Prediction Research and Transition Center (SPoRT) will offer an optional
day of hands-on training for integrating NASA Earth Science data into
wildland fire science, decision making, and management. Please indicate
your interest in this opportunity on the abstract submission form.
Abstracts of up to 500 words for both oral and poster presentations are
welcome.
Deadline for abstract submissions and travel support applications:
Tuesday, 15 November 2016.
Limited funding is available to offset selected presenters' travel
expenses, with priority given to students and other young investigators.
