WORKSHOP – Data management for detection, geolocation and monitoring of forest fires

On Monday 27 February, at the Hotel Vila Galé in Coimbra, a workshop on data management for detection, geolocation and monitoring of forest fires will take place. This workshop will consist in the presentation of results from several research projects on this subject, namely:

– FireLoc – Where Is the Fire? Identification, Positioning and Monitoring of Forest Fires with Data Provided by Citizens

– FoRESTER – Sensor Network Combined with Fire Propagation Modelling Integrated into a Decision Support System for Forest Fire Fighting

– FirePuma – Forest Fire Prevention through Monitoring to Reduce Uncertainty

– Floresta Limpa – Automatic and Participated Surveillance of Forest Fire Protection Zones

– IMFire – Intelligent Fire Management

– Firefront – Real-Time Mapping and Prediction of Wildfire Progression by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

– Eye in the Sky – Use of High Altitude Balloons for Decision Support in Firefighting Operations

After each session of presentations there will be a period for questions. In the final phase of the workshop, a Panel Discussion on “Integrating data for the detection, geolocation and monitoring of extreme events – potentials, limitations and risks” is planned.
