Geoprocessing for FINN (Fire INventory from NCAR): estimating atmospheric pollutant emissions from wildfires

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Using PostGIS, the talk explains a GIS workflow to estimate burned-area polygons from FIRMS Active Fire point data to produce inputs for FINN (Fire INventory from NCAR) and thereby estimate pollutant emissions from wildfires. It focuses on spatial processing techniques in PostGIS to convert fire detection points into polygons suitable for atmospheric emissions modeling.
