About
Dr Chathura Wickramasinghe
Dr Chathura Wickramasinghe’s study focused on utilising the multi-resolution and high frequency data from the Advanced Himawari Imager to develop new algorithms for fire line mapping and fire intensity calculation. Chathura’s research proposed two algorithms for fire line mapping and fire radiant energy: calculations are improved by using accurate fire area calculation and correcting for radiant heat from smouldering areas.
Chathura is now GIS Coordinator at HVP Plantations and works as a remote sensing analyst at CO2 Australia.
Her thesis is available here.
