Hoefen, T., B. Gullett, J. Johnston, J. Aurrell, M. William, D. Tabor, G. Plumee, J. Sloan, AND B. Quirk. Determination of Forest Fire Intensity Effects on Emissions and Soil Character Using an Unmanned Multicopter. USGS Innovation Center 2018 5th Anniversary, Reston, VA, February 28, 2018.
Impact/Purpose:
This talk presents the results from a joint USGS/USEPA project funded by the USGS Innovation Center. It is a proof of concept for a novel method that measures Infrared fire intensity and emissions simultaneously. It is applicable to study of wildland fires.
Description:
These are the slides for a joint USGS/USEPA presentation at the USGS' Innovation Center Colloquium February 28, 2018. Work from the 2017 field trial for proof of concept of this technology is presented, including numerous photographs. This work showed the feasibility of these measurements and, with more data, would allow for testing the effect of wildland fire combustion intensity on emissions.
