What is the connection between LANDFIRE and Landsat satellite imagery?
The Landsat program provides imagery that is critical for LANDFIRE’s vegetation and fuel mapping effort. The development of detailed vegetation maps is a significant component of LANDFIRE. These vegetation maps (see the Data Products: LANDFIRE National section of this website) are an important precursor to mapping wildland fuel and fire regimes. The Landsat program provides imagery that is critical for LANDFIRE’s vegetation and fuel mapping effort. For more information about Landsat, see http://landsat.usgs.gov/. There is a strong synergistic relationship between LANDFIRE National and the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC 2001) consortium. The MRLC 2001 consortium (see http://www.mrlc.gov) is a group of nine federal agencies involved in the acquisition and pre-processing of 2000 – 2003 Landsat imagery and the development of a second-generation land cover database for the nation. This is the foundational image catalog for LANDFIRE, providing not only the raw imagery used by LA
