Events & Meetings

FireSense will be chairing a session at AGU 2024 being held in Washington, DC from December 9-13 with co-chairs from Canada’s WildFire Sat Mission, GOFC-GOLD, and the Pyregence Consortium.

This session proposes a comprehensive exploration of advancements in wildland fire management, monitoring, and modeling by integrating Earth observation technologies and collaborative development efforts. We will highlight innovative approaches that foster cross-boundary, multi-jurisdictional collaborations among tribal, local, federal, and international partners.

FireSense will be co-leading a session at the 6th Federal UxS Workshop in Albuquerque, NM Sept 10-12.

FireSense will be attending the Cohesive Wildland Fire Management Strategy Workshop in Atlantic City, NJ Sept 16-19.

FireSense updates will be presented at the 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) Session: CCS.125: Wildfire science, response, and technology: challenges, opportunities, and advances

7th Annual IAWF Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference in Boise, Idaho from April 15th-19th, 2024.

The Earth Science Division organized NASA-wide participation at the International Association of Wildland Fire’s 7th International Fire Behavior and Fuels Conference that took place April 15-18 in Boise Idaho, Ireland, and Australia. This conference showcased how different countries can implement newly developed fire management policies and frameworks at national, regional, and local levels to address fire risks and build resilience and brought together policy makers, scientists, fire managers and Indigenous land stewards. The Division hosted a booth featuring its Wildland Fires, FireSense, Disasters, and Technology activities as well as the NASA Wildland Fire Management Initiative. Science and application talks were delivered by NASA staff along with 12 5-minute showcase presentations.
