This project brings together researchers from around the world including RMIT, the German Aerospace Agency DLR, CSIRO, the University of Twente in the Netherlands and the Bureau of Meteorology. The project will attribute fire landscapes using the latest satellite based thermal earth observation systems for active fire surveillance. Structure from Motion (SfM), Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and hyperspectral technologies and techniques will also be used for quantifying and mapping changes in the landscape before, and after, a fire event. This report provides a background to the project and discusses the key research questions being asked, and how these can help support end user operations. The methodology used to address each of the research questions is outlined, and key achievements across the last year are described. The report concludes with activities planned for the year ahead and a list of currently integrated project members.

Highlights of 2014-2015 have included:
