Using a Field Spectroradiometer for Burn Scar Identification

Download Whitepaper
Wildfires and controlled burns have a major impact on vegetation, soil and the global climate. Burn scar measurements provide important information for researchers studying agriculture, vegetation, soil and climate change. Typically burn scar information is taken from satellite, flyover or UAV scans. The data captured by these systems requires field validation. A field spectroradiometer such as the Spectral Evolution SR-6500, RS8800, RS-5400, PSR+ or RS-3500 can be used to acquire spectral data that supports, contradicts or fills-in the missing data for hyperspectral burn scar measurements.
