Abstract Geotiff
image of fire affected areas in far northern Australia for the year 2009 based
on NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer. The image has a
resolution of 250m per pixel and each burnt pixel is tagged with the month that
covers the largest part of the date interval in which the burnt pixel was
detected. The data extends across theWA rangelands, across the entire NT (down
to 26 degrees S) and all of Qld (down to 29 degrees S). Mapping landscapes
north of 20 degrees S has been validated by aerial and on-ground transects across
northern Australia.

Lineage Statement
Burnt area mapping is based on analysis of imagery from the Moderate Resolution
Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Terra satellite. At least two images of
different dates are compared to detect fire affected areas. Image analysing
software, manual inspection of the image and other datasets such as hotspot
data are used to produce the final product.
