Canada-wide mapping of Forest Fuel Attributes using Space-borne LiDAR, structural simulations and Time Series Satellite Data — This project aims to develop open-access tools integrating LIDAR-derived forest fuel assessments with satellite data to extrapolate critical forest fuel attributes across Canada's forested areas, crucial for effective forest management and fire decision-making. By leveraging innovative modeling techniques and open data distribution, the project seeks to advance forest fuel assessment methods, potentially reaching an Application Readiness Level of 6, offering valuable resources for stakeholders and enhancing wildfire risk management.
