DC001 - Aggregated and harmonised burnt extent fire history data on a national scale

Research Investment

Brief description This work will establish a nationally aggregated and
harmonised data asset on past fires burnt extent boundaries for Australia.
Through collaboration between national, state and territory agencies,
standardised state and national products would be produced. This work will
support the agencies for the supply of datasets on geospatial boundaries of past
fires, to fill a long-standing gap and demand for national fire history
datasets. With improved satellite imagery data supply and cloud computing
processing power, a satellite derived historical fire history for the nation
would be created as well. This work will support bushfire research as well as
National Emergency Management, National Fire Danger Ratings System and
associated risk management operations.
