Created 05/05/2025

Updated 05/05/2025

Fire burnt areas prior to October 2022 mapped manually every 9 days from 1km resolution NOAA/AVHRR Satellite Imagery. Now automatically detected daily from 375 m VIIRS satellite imagery since October 2022 and visually QAed on a weekly basis. Coarse resolution not suitable for all land management applications. Not all fires will be mapped. Fires under 4 km², Persistent cloud cover, vegetation canopy will not be mapped.
