Funded through NASA's LBA-Ecology Program, Land Cover Project #23
Role: PI, Time commitment = 20%
Dates: 2003-2005

Objectives:
1- Quantifying the uncertainly in satellite derived fire and burn scar products, concentrating primarily on new MODIS fire products and
2- Establish techniques to distinguish between fires that cause land-cover change and fires that maintain a state of equilibrium
