LANDFIRE 2010 took two years to complete and represents the most current mapped products available from the LANDFIRE program. Thousands of satellite images were analyzed to determine where landscape changes occurred from 2008 (the date of LANDFIRE’s last Refresh), through 2010. Satellite images were supplemented with recent disturbance and treatment information. The result is a circa 2010 version of many of LANDFIRE’s spatial datasets covering the entire U.S. and now some U.S. insular areas. Several changes were made to increase production efficiency. Blog is attached; video
presentation on YouTube.
Kori Blankenship, LANDFIRE fire ecologist, concludes her four-part series for the
